Vitantonio Liuzzi is delighted to have secured his career best qualifying performance having secured sixth on the grid for tomorrow’s race.
The Italian driver suffered a shaky start to the season with many suggesting his days were numbered at the Indian owned F1 team, however this result should cement his place within the team for the remainder of the season.
“It’s good to be back in business after Turkey,” exclaimed Liuzzi.
A change of chassis provided Liuzzi with some much needed confidence.
“We changed the chassis and brought some new updates that we tested on Friday and then this morning and, so far, everything is great.
“P6 is a good position to be in, but it won’t be easy tomorrow as the tyre wear will be high and I think it will make for a really crazy race.”
Force India boss, Vijay Mallya also expressed his pleasure in seeing his outfit secure their best start for the 2010 season.
“I am delighted with this result and so happy to see Tonio back to his best again,” Mallya said. “We believed in him and wanted to give him the support he needed to realise the potential we knew was in there.
“He’s justified this belief today with a gritty performance.
“We have now got to refocus on converting this performance into a strong points haul, which I believe, should be very achievable.”
