Force India: Strange car behavior in qualifying in Valencia

Adrian Sutil – Pos 13:
“This morning the car was going very well and I was able to push with both compounds. But in Q2 I had a clean lap, but the grip wasn't there. Throughout the whole session it was very difficult and we couldn't get the tires up to temperature – a big difference compared to FP3. It's obviously a disappointment for us because we're quite strong here. Now we will focus on the race – we had a good run here last year and as we saw in Montreal, our race pace is very strong and so there is always the possibility of making up positions.”

Tonio Liuzzi – Pos 14:
“This morning we were very fast and I started Q1 not too badly for us, so we were positive that we could get a good result. But then the heat, perhaps seven or eight degrees warmer than in this morning's free practice, had a different effect on the tyres. Both Adrian and I had big problems with the soft tires in Q2 and there was a lot of understeer. It's a real shame, because up until then we were very competitive and we had hoped for more. But we don't give up, as we saw in Montreal, where we had an accident at the start and then scored in the points."
