Force India only just missed out on Q2
22 March 2008 / Results / PhotosThe Force India Formula One Team again got within touching distance of making it through to Q2 in the qualifying session for Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix. Giancarlo Fisichella, the 2006 Malaysian Grand Prix winner, was just 0.05secs from making it into the top 16 and just over one second off the fastest time of the session.
Giancarlo Fisichella commented on his qualifying session: "Just five hundredths away from Q2, it was very close! I am a little disappointed with not getting there, but I did my best and did a fantastic lap. Let's say it's very encouragaing - just five hundredths from the top 16 and Q2, and just under a second from the quickest lap time of that session - it is very promising for the future. The team has done a fantastic job so far. Of course we have a lot of work to do but looking forward we are going in the right direction, which is just great."
Adrian Sutil was disappointed with his session. He said: "It was not a good qualifying, but to be honest I was expecting this as we had not had a great practice in the morning. We had problems again trying to get the soft tyres to work, my car is just not behaving how it should be with them and I even tried a hard set. The car felt much better but for sure with them I can't race the other cars. In the race and over longer runs I think we are better. In Melbourne it was OK and I have a good feeling there is more in the car."
