The European Grand Prix will be our first race after the summer shutdown, so hopefully the team will return refreshed and ready for a very busy end to the season. Before the factory closure Force India worked very hard to finalise and test another aero upgrade that will be introduced this race. The changes include some new details on the front wing, floor and further bodywork refinements that we hope will accelerate the upward trend
in our performance Valencia is a modern city street circuit. Although it shares a waterside layout with Monaco, in contrast it’s relatively wide and fast. Long straights link five hairpins and three medium speed chicanes that provide some overtaking opportunities, and work the brakes and engine hard. The bridge across the harbour is a special feature, as are the old port buildings that form the pit garages. Much to everyone’s surprise there was no safety car in the F1 race last year, despite frequent deployments in the support events, so perhaps this year there could be an added dimension to the race strategy. |
