Force India, through its co-owner Vijay Mallya, confirmed that Giancarlo Fisichella will be a race driver in this year 2008.<\/p>\n
The official announcement will be made in India later today, Mallya said in the columns of the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. Fisichella will, therefore, join Adrian Sutil as a Grand Prix driver while Vitantonio Liuzzi will be a test driver.<\/p>\n
\u00ab In the tests in Barcelona and Jerez, we used many drivers, and then we opted for Fisichella and Liuzzi, \u00bb said Mr. Mallya.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Giancarlo, in particular, needs no introduction. \u00bb<\/p>\n
When asked if Fisichella would be the team’s number one, Mallya stated: \u00ab Absolutely. He has much more experience and will help Sutil improve. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Despite the formalization of contracts with Fisichella and Liuzzi, Mallya said that his ambition for 2008 is not too high to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n
I invested a lot of money to improve the car, but I have to be realistic. I can’t make any predictions. The goal is obviously to improve on what was done by Spyker last year.<\/p>\n
\u00ab We need to earn some points. And above all, we must avoid finishing last at the end of the season, \u00bb he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
