Fisichella - I can bring a lot to Force India

Giancarlo Fisichella is determined to stay on the F1 grid next season and clinch the only drive still open to him - with Force India. After testing for the team, Fisichella is confident he can do a good job.

"I can bring a lot of experience and ideas of how we can go in the right direction," Fisichella told GPUpdate.net. "I think I did a good job with the team in the couple of days testing. We were working in a few areas and we made a step forward, especially in the car balance and the set up. The team was quite impressed with the job I did so far. I am impressed about the team, which is still a small one, but they have a good potential."

"I still know a few mechanics from when I drove here in 1997, 2002 and 2003," added Fisichella who drove for the team when it was Jordan. "I feel a good atmosphere and it was good to be back with them. Force India is working on a nice project, with a better budget then last year and they can go up very quickly, so we'll see. We'll see if we're both happy to work together in the future."
