Force India team’s Principal, Vijay Mallya, has said that his team is still evaluating whether the upgrades will appear on ‘VJM04’ car in up-coming race weekend, or the team has to wait until the Monaco race later this month.
The team tried out a new front-wing concept in recent Turkish race weekend, but that was unable to make good progress in the race, as it was wet due to the rain. However, after the grand prix, Force India has been pushed to bring a series of upgrades in
the pipeline of the car, for their upbeat results in the remaining season. But, the team still remains unsure on when car’s latest updates package will be appeared to race on the grid.
The team took part in Istanbul race, with hopes of getting good mileage on the parts to be sure of their benefits, but due to have a rain in qualifying round, the drivers did not get enough for their team.
Force India principal discussed the Spanish Grand Prix and said that Barcelona race is always a significant moment in the season, every year. He added, “It marks the return to Europe and it's the moment when the Formula 1 development race really begins.
At Force India we have some upgrades to bring to the car in the coming races and I'm excited to see how things will unfold.”
He informed that the new changes also included aerodynamic developments that make confident the team, they can take their positive step forward in terms of drivers’ improving performance.
On the other hand, the team's driver, Paul Di Resta mentioned that Force India needs to make improvements in its running, if they really want to fight for their supportive points. Due to its worst performance in Turkish race, the team is again looking forward
to getting the new front-wing on the car as soon as possible, because due to have rain, it was unable to give its supportive role at the qualifying round and race day also.
Di Resta further added that all teams are planning to bring updates over the further few races, as they want to face their challenging races of the season. So, Force India team also needs to deliver some changes to their car for the upbeat results.
He went on to say, “We evaluated a new front wing in Istanbul and we hope to have more steps coming through in the near future. The team has been working hard on this new concept and everybody is quite upbeat about its race introduction, so that's something
to look forward to."
The Scotsman had an impressive start in ongoing season. However, he is still interested to finish his good stint on the race track. The Barcelona race will take place on May 22, at the Circuit de Catalunya, in Spain.
