Force India’s jinx continues
Adrian Sutil in the Sahara Force India
Trending
Force India haven’t been able to shake off their jinx that saw them leave Spa with no points. The significant dip in the performance would have made the flamboyant Vijay Mallya pull his hair out. Things started to look ominous in free practice (FP3) when Paul di Resta went off the track with an over-steer that led to a broken brake disc. Next, Adrian Sutil was penalised with a three place grid penalty for impeding Lewis Hamilton (who was on a timed lap) in qualifying
Paul di Reista was out of the race in the very first lap after he crashed his VJM06 into the right rear wheel of Romain Grosjean’s Lotus damaging his own left front wheel and the front of his car. Finally, a terrible weekend ended with Sutil retiring from the race in 13th place with a lap to go with brake problems. The team thought it was wise enough for Sutil to stall the car in the pits, prompted by the FP3 incident. Force India has just scored 2 points (at Spa) since their last double points finish at Silverstone and have had a disappointing run in the second half of the season, a season that showed a lot of promise until July.
