Sutil does like Magny-Cours

Sutil does like Magny-Cours

17 June 2008

Adrian Sutil is one of the few drivers that is looking forward to the upcoming French Grand Prix. While most drivers are saying they don't see the Circuit de Nevers as a big challenge the German Force India F1 driver does believe the track is an interesting challenge.

"Actually I quite like Magny-Cours," Sutil said looking ahead of this weekend's French Grand Prix. "I know a lot of drivers don't enjoy it, but it's one of my favourite tracks as I like the layout with the quick chicane, the long right hander through the corner to the straight, the hairpin - it's exactly what I like and I already know I am quite quick around there! I've had some good results in F3 there, and then did my first F1 practice at the track too. Now with some race experience I've got a lot of good memories.

"I hope now I can get another good memory from France. The last two races have been disappointing in results, with two DNFs which is never good, but we have been quite competitive in the races. In Monaco especially, but in Canada also I was very close to the Toyotas, but just couldn't find a way past. It could have been a good race, it was a shame not to finish.

"I hope then in Magny-Cours we are able to do a really great race. I have experience now, I know the track so I am really confident I can do well. We are also getting better in qualifying, but are just not close enough to get into Q2. We have to work on this in France."
