Silverstone: Brimming with confidence after his top 10 finish in Valencia, Force India driver Adrian Sutil expects the new updates to bridge the gap that separates his team from its maiden Formula One points in Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.
After the upgrades debuted in the European Grand Prix, both the V JM02 cars fmished inside top 12 and Sutilrevealed it has indeed made a difference.
"It was a very simple track, it just goes straight on, so you don't need a lot of downforce. But I think we gained about half a second, and it should be even more
in Spa," Sutilsaid.
Describing Spa as one of his favourite tracks, the German said Force India might break its point duck there. "Spa I think is our circuit," he said. "We were quite good there last year, and
this year must be much, much better. I'll be happy with a dry weekend. The circuit is amazing in the dry, and our car is now good. I want to see how our update works there," Sutil said.
Looking back, Sutil drew lot of confidence from his show in Valencia and said it was great to run wheel-to-wheel with some of the top teams. "I think it was a strong race, and I'm really happy with it. I have done a few other races which were similar and maybe even had a better position. But here almost nobody retired. And it was a dry race, and normally we're strong in the wet races," he explained. PTI
