(Sahara Force India Formula One Team)
The Sahara Force India Formula One team head to the Brazilian Grand Prix hopeful of a positive race result following a double retirement from the the United States Grand Prix last weekend. Speaking to the team ahead of the race in Sao Paulo, Dr Mallya sat down with the team.
Vijay, the team was out of luck in Austin - do you expect a change of fortune this week?
“The bad luck we experienced in Austin is part of the game and I’m pleased to say it’s very unusual to see our two cars fail to take the chequered flag.
Our consistency and reliability have been strong for the most part of the year and we simply have to take a weekend such as Austin on the chin. Our battle for fifth in the championship is now a bit more complicated, but
it’s not yet out of reach. It’s a shame that Checo will have a grid penalty in Brazil, but Interlagos is a track that lends itself to overtaking so hopefully he can recover some of the lost ground.”
Brazil usually produces an interesting race and it’s been good to the team in the past…
“The last time Nico Hulkenberg raced for us in Brazil, he almost won the race! It remains one of the most memorable moments in the team’s history, but it’s also a painful memory because we came so close to our first victory.
It’s a track that both Nico and Sergio love and perhaps we can expect some more magic moments this year, especially if we get some of Sao Paulo’s famous unsettled weather.'
