Force India Late For F1
India is going to be late for the Formula1 this season, as the brand new car is yet to hit the floor probably by March. The sole Indian team 'Force India' has recently tied up with Mercedes and McLaren for technical support for this season.

Last year was disappointing for Force India, as in spite of using the Ferrari engine it could not score a single point in the race rally. As reported by the Sun, the technical team is working hard to put together the new engine, gearbox and KERS energy recovery system received from Mercedes and McLaren.

"It's obviously very tight because of what we've had to do. But the plan is to hit the last two official team tests before the season," Force India's technical director James Key said.

This time again the Force India will repeat Italian Giancarlo Fisichella and Germany's Adrian Sutil, the race drivers from the previous season. The pressure is huge on the technical team to rush with their job, as once the season starts testing would be banned.

However, the team is confidant that every thing will fall well in to place and Force India will surly make its mark at the rally. "We've had late calls in the past and this is quite a late one. But it is for all the right reasons in terms of long-term stability for team," Key said. AGENCIES
