Adrian Sutil: “I am confident for this weekend”
Thursday ,27 October 2011
As one of Sahara Force India’s two race drivers Adrian Sutil will naturally be a focus of attention in Delhi this weekend, and yesterday he was one of the drivers selected for the FIA Press Conference, where he met the world’s media. Here’s a sample of his thoughts ahead of the first Indian Grand Prix
First of all, what are your impressions of India? I know you have been here a few times and you’ve been here probably a whole week now…
“Yes, so I know this country well. They have done quite a good job on the circuit really. I went around the circuit this morning and it all looked finished. It looks like a very interesting layout. It was still very dusty I have to say, so we will have to see how it is for tomorrow morning. But hopefully it is going to be a great event. For us it is very special and I think it is time to introduce Formula One. It’s a great weekend for us, many people watching us, and I look forward to it.”
I guess you have been here for a few days doing promotions? Tell us about what you have been doing?
“Well I was in Delhi on Monday, then I went to Mumbai. Always press stuff, appearances, just normal events for us, some Kingfisher events, and it was quite nice to see how many fans we have got and how excited the people are. During the years it has picked up – I have seen that every year. The people are more aware of what we were doing on the circuit so I hope it is going to be another step after this weekend.”
What are your expectations for this weekend?
“I think in Korea the qualifying was quite good, but in the race I just didn’t have the right balance. We had a lot of understeer and that’s why I couldn’t finish in the points. I think we have to try to address that here for this race. We have some modifications so hopefully that will help. I am quite pleased with the speed of the car, we are always around this top ten area, but probably at the moment a little bit better in qualifying than in the race, so let’s see what happens. I am confident for this weekend, though.”
