Monza: Great Memory for Adrian Sutil
After finishing in an honorable 7th place in Belgium, Adrian Sutil and his team will arrive this week at the Monza circuit. The Italian Autodrome remains one of the best memories for the German driver in Formula 1.
The 2009 Monza Grand Prix will remain long engraved in the memory of young Adrian Sutil! Assisted by a powerful Mercedes engine and a fast VJM02, he surprised everyone by delivering the best performances of his career to date. An event he recently recalled on the Force India website: “Monza is a circuit that I greatly appreciate. And for good reason, I achieved the two best results of my record there: a front row on the grid alongside Lewis, and a 4th place finish.”
Furthermore, Adrian Sutil expressed his eagerness to return to the Lombard circuit: « This track is historic for Formula 1! And then, there’s always a great atmosphere thanks to the presence of Italian supporters. It’s exciting to race at Monza ».
This year, Force India doesn’t stand out on a particular circuit. The VJM04 has shown consistency on all tracks. This is why the driver is optimistic for the race. « We have observed that our results do not vary from one weekend to another and that the type of circuit does not influence the car’s performance. Like Spa, Monza is a low downforce circuit. Moreover, all the cars are now equipped with KERS and DRS. Therefore, our top speed will have little influence. That’s why I expect a good race in Italy ».
Finally, there will be two DRS zones this weekend on the track: « Monza is a circuit where it has never been easy to overtake. 2 zones on the long straights promise a lot of action! And I would like once again to finish in the points at the end », concluded the German.
