Sutil wants to see chequered flag at Interlagos

Force India F1 driver Adrian Sutil has a clear target for the final round in the 2008 Formula One championship: to see the chequered flag at the end of the race. The German was unable to make it to the finish in the last three rounds and is eager to end the season at the finish line.

Speaking about his targets for the upcoming Grand Prix Sutil said: "In Brazil I will have one aim: to finish the race. After three consecutive DNFs we really need this. I've not been happy with the finishing record so far this year, we've just had too many times that we've not got to the flag, either through a mechanical problem or accident - whatever it has been, it's just not enough. if Giancarlo and I can get a good, competitive finish it will be a positive way to end what's been a difficult season for everyone."

The 25-year-old German furthermore said about the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix: "I'm really looking forward to Brazil as it is like a special event for me, being half South American. The track is very enjoyable despite being physically tough. The ambient temperatures can be high and it's sometimes very humid, but the toughest is the bumps. When you're going round the track during the race you really feel each bump! With it being anti-clockwise as well we use the neck muscles we don't normally use."
