Bob Fernley does not hide it, the points earned by Force India at the inaugural Grand Prix of the 2015 season in Australia are almost unexpected.<\/p>\n
These 7 points allow the team to get ahead of Toro Rosso, Lotus, and McLaren, and are especially a reward for all the efforts made by Force India since this winter. The VJM08, which appeared late, has ultimately proven to be very reliable: \u00ab The team is back, after a rather tough winter where we started our tests quite late. But we have a car that has been incredibly reliable since its launch. This gave us a clear advantage during the race. We had a good strategy and did the best we could with what we had, \u00bb confided Fernley before continuing: \u00ab The team can be happy and it’s positive to return to the factory with some points in our pockets, it boosts everyone’s morale. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Force India fully intends to keep up its momentum and score more points at the start of the season before bringing updates to the car, as Fernley confirms: \u00ab This must be our policy. The team’s consistency has allowed us to move forward, and if we can continue to score points until we bring updates, I hope that afterward, we can score points solely on our own merit. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Through these remarks, Fernley acknowledges that race circumstances have allowed Force India to be where they are today: \u00ab We expected some incidents and retirements in the race, probably not quite as many as there were, but it allowed us to do a good job. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
