SALT in conversation
with Adrian and Paul
September 2011
The
first Indian Grand Prix is a historic event. What does it mean to you to be
racing for Force India in Delhi this October?
Adrian:
It’s a big moment for the team. I’ve been here since day one and I will be
very proud to be driving for the first Indian team in the first Indian Grand
Prix.
Paul:
Like everyone in the team I’m excited about this race. It’s a new territory
for Formula One and will do a great deal to help increase the popularity of
the sport in India.
Will the weather be an
issue? Will it require a different strategy?
Adrian:
It will be quite pleasant I think. We miss the end of the monsoon and
temperatures should be warm, but not too hot.
Paul:
It’s hard to know what to expect until we get there. I’ve been to India
before, but not to Delhi, and not in October. It’s a new track to learn,
which is always exciting for a driver, but until we get there and drive it
we won’t really know about the characteristics and how the race strategies
will unfold.
Adrian:
Of course we have high expectations from our fans in India, but we have to
be realistic, too. The car has improved a lot this season. We can run
consistently in the top ten and score points. So repeating that form has to
be the first target. We would love to fight for a podium, but we will
probably need a little bit of luck for that to happen.
Paul:
It will be a memorable day for India, a new culture for Formula One, and a
historic moment. Hopefully we can make it a special day for Force India by
getting a great result and give the fans something to celebrate.
