Dream to Steal a podium
New regulations to give new hope. For Force India Formula 1, drastic changes in Formula 1 2009 to provide increased dream to podium.
Plainly, the new Force India car, including the most awaited this season. With the new regulations to the extreme in 2009, what the ''small team'' doing may be more interesting than the solution of the giant teams.
For the Ferrari Formula 1 or Mclaren-Mercedes, there are many resources that can be used to create a new car, which can ''outsmart''new regulations. Even if the initial solution fails, they still have many resources to make changes quickly.
Unlike the small teams. What they had at the beginning of the season, so that they have until the end of the season. There is no money to change dramatically. So interesting to see how the Force India Formula 1 to set up new car.
Initial allegations: Cars is certainly simple, the solutions are simple. The team will not want to create a high-risk solutions.
Thats correct, when the picture first appeared last week, Force India VJM02 is a very simple car. Front wing is not exotic, not exotic body, and the rear wing is not exotic. The light is a form of poop. Full adapt to the curvature form of a Mercedes-Benz engine that is installed under the body.
Mark Smith, boss of the technical team, admitted that the time to prepare the car is quite short. The agreement with Mercedes-Benz to supply engine, girboks, and all the new electronic system to be announced 10 November 2008. Although not difficult, usually require more time to perfect the installation on a new car.
''Normally already started in August. So, we must do everything in just five months,''said Smith.
Men who had joined the Renault was added, VJM02 actually have the option to use KERS (Kinetic energy recovery system) system. With the new system may be used in 2009, the drivers can press the button on the right track and get extra encouragement energy.
But, Smith said,to use it Force India Formula 1 must wait the agreement with McLaren and Mercedes. For the common fan, meaning ''it may depend on the financial ability Force India Formula 1''.
Because running out of time, now Force India Formula 1 only have time not longer than a month before sending the car to Australia, the first Formula 1 series at the end of this March.
According to Smith, the team will only go down during the eight training days. In Jerez, Spain, plus this weekend in Barcelona, also Spain, March 9-12 later. Plus the two shakedown (system checking). First 25 February in Silverstone, England, plus once more before departure to Australia to attend the first Formula 1 2009 series.
''Ideally, we have more testing. But, this is not a major problem. Main difficulty is to know the length of the age component. With only eight training days, we do not have time to test the resilience of that,''he said.
Although the full limitations, Force India Formula 1 remain optimistic to face this Formula 1 season in 2009. When the Formula 1 2008 season progress disappointing without points, this year they have target to routine grab the points. ''If pursuing victory, we may be able to dream in Formula 1 2010. For Formula 1 2009, I have been happy if we reach points routine. That is far to step forward,''said Vijay Mallya, the team boss.
Giancarlo Fisichella, Force India Formula 1 senior drivers, confirming that the team pursue the target points on a regular basis. In fact, 36 years old driver can dream podium. ''This year, with cars that are really new, we expect to appear competitive and often grabbing points. So, why not now pursue podium?''He said.
His team partners Adrian Sutil confess that his career is at the end of threshold. Because of that, he will throw everything to achieve the possible results with Force India Formula 1.
''If I was a good season, I have the opportunity to survive in Formula 1 much longer,''he closed the conversation.
