Kolles targets Q2 in Spain

Force India F1 team boss Colin Kolles hopes to see at least one of his drivers make it into the second round of the qualifying session this Saturday at the Spanish Grand Prix weekend. Kolles is positive about the team's improvements over the first three races of the season and hopes the team can continue its improving form.

"Unfortunately we missed out on Q2 in Bahrain by just over a tenth, but again Giancarlo put in a very impressive race with very competitive lap times to finish 12th," Kolles said looking back at the third round in the F1 championship. "Adrian had unfortunately an incident at the start that compromised his race, however he managed to finish the race with a strong performance.

"This outing in Bahrain demonstrated our improving form, which we hope will continue in Barcelona. Our targets this time out will be to reach Q2 in qualifying and to score points. We are working very hard to reach these targets and I am confident we will reach them sooner rather than later."
