Sutil not unsettled by Force India changes

Adrian Sutil has explained that he feels no different in the Force India team following a change of team-mate ahead of the Italian Grand Prix this weekend. Vitantonio Liuzzi will become the third ever race driver for the Silverstone squad and the fifth team-mate to the German in Formula One.

Adrian's first F1 team-mate was Dutchman Christijan Albers at Spyker in 2007

Since entering Formula One with Spyker at the start of 2007, Sutil has been partnered by Christijan Albers, Marcus Winkelhock and Sakon Yamamoto before being joined by Fisichella as the squad became Force India last year. Liuzzi's return marks the Italian's first race since Brazil 2007 and Sutil has no qualms with the addition.

"Having a change mid-season isn't a problem for me," Adrian explained. "I've had this situation once before, in 2007, and I know Tonio very well now we've spent two years together in the same team.

"He's a good guy and we work well together - he's always been very open with information and he's done a great job in the testing and development. Together, I think we can carry on the progress we've made so far and get some good results."
