Force India Mercedes will start tomorrow's Malaysian Grand Prix, the second race of the season, with Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil in 18th and 19th positions respectively.For the second consecutive event qualifying produced a very close and relatively surprising grid, and Fisichella will start just behind The Renault of Nelson Piquet and the Ferrari of Felipe Massa.
Giancarlo Fisichella
"I had a problem with the throttle pedal on the first run so we changed it and I lost the chance to do three runs, which was very important. The lap I did was clean and the car is well balanced. Again the field is very mixed and with the chance of some rain we should look to keep up with the field and take any chance we can."
Adrian Sutil
"We did a good job today, we had no problems and this was our pace - we couldn't really have done better. We just need to find some downforce. For tomorrow, I want to have a good race and to get to the finish.
We are very quick down the straights and there is some potential for overtaking so let's see - we had an exciting race in Melbourne and anything can happen. I am still positive."
Dominic Harlow, Chief Race Engineer
"It was a tense session today with a constant threat of heavy showers, but they didn't materialise. Giancarlo lost some track time with a throttle pedal problem, but recovered well to place a time just 0.05s faster than Adrian. We're expecting an interesting race tomorrow and we know from last weekend that our race pace coupled with strong straight line speed and a creative strategy could be good enough to score points."
