21 May 2008After a disappointing race weekend in Turkey, Force India team owner Vijay Mallya is confident his drivers can turn it around and spring a much stronger result in this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix.

"Turkey might have seemed disappointing from the outside, but I did not leave the track feeling down at heart," Mallya insisted. "We were certainly no further back from the opposition than we have been in previous races and, in fact compared to the fastest time of the weekend, we were the closest we have been all year. Our position is now just a measure of how competitive F1 is this year. There are no inefficient teams: you just have 10 professional teams, and we are undoubtedly the smallest, newest kid on the block."
"I am sure however that Monaco will be a different story," he added. "It's a real driver's track and I have every confidence in both my drivers here - just look at their track records. Giancarlo - who reaches a great career milestone this weekend - has achieved some fantastic results here against expectations, while Adrian posted the fastest time in practice on Saturday morning last year. That tells a story of its own."
