Fisichella targets Q2 in Bahrain
01 April 2008Giancarlo Fisichella is feeling in good spirits after a more competitive than expected run at the wheel of his Force India car at the Malaysian Grand Prix. Heading to Bahrain, the veteran racer's big goal is to make it into the second qualifying session.
"My aims will be the same as in Malaysia: I want to complete the full distance and improve the race pace if we can, although in Sepang our lap times were already pretty competitive," Fisichella said. "The VJM01 feels well balanced, even if we know there is more to come from it. Hopefully with the new improvements in Bahrain we will be able to investigate some more set up options and should be able to get rid of the understeer that plagued us in Sepang."
"I think we can also try to get into Q2, but this always depends on us getting the perfect lap and maybe one of the others making a mistake - it's very close racing this year, particularly with Toro Rosso and Honda, and I think this battle will continue for the rest of the season," he added.
"In Malaysia we were fighting hard with these two teams and were very close in lap times, especially with Rubens. I think to beat him we need to have a good strategy, but now we know what we have to do, we can look into it in Bahrain. With the race pace we have we can take some risks with the strategies until we know what suits us best. I am looking forward to it."
