Adrian Sutil is confident before the GP of England. After nine in Valencia points are target also at Silverstone back. The prohibition of exhaust tricks could help. "We should lose not quite as much as the others," hopes the Force India driver.
Adrian Sutil has already tried the new rules. In the Simulator, it was tested, how it feels when in the gas wegnehmen is suddenly less downforce in the rear. "The drivability is also without the banned engine settings in order", reported the German. The effects seem not so bad as feared.
At Force India they decided therefore to try it in England with KERS. Originally, there had been consideration in the team to give up the hybrid boost. They feared the diversion of energy on the rear axle could upset the brake balance too much. "We go as normal", Sutil confirmed once again.
Although long straight line as in Valencia or spa fit better than the curves of Silverstone fast the team the German will again in the points. "I have a good feeling." The car has last well fitted. "We have taken a step forward." Help could be the prohibition of exhaust tricks. "We lose so that even some time." "But others lose more" Sutil hopes.
There is no large updates at Silverstone. "We have a new rear wing, we test." We still have not decided whether we use it also in the race. It is to bring more downforce. But sometimes, we need to look how he behaves in flat gestelltem condition. "We are here to find out that." At the Nurburgring a major update to come then again.
Overall, the Force India driver expects that the field will push more. "Red bull has can get the most out of the angeblasenen diffuser." You are now perhaps not so superior. "But they are still the favorite, because the track with the fast bends just very well to the car."
