A very promising start to the weekend for Force India, with Scotsman Paul di Resta
and German Nico Hülkenberg finishing in the top ten in the two first practice sessions on Friday.
The Silverstone-based outift targets top ten grid positions for both of their drivers ahead of today’s
qualifying session under lights in Singapore.
“I think you always need time to get up to speed on any street circuit,
so it was useful to have some trouble-free sessions and get the laps
under my belt,” said Scotsman di Resta. “The balance we have with the car is
already looking good, but there’s always room to improve things
overnight. So I think we’re in decent shape and the data collected
should leave us well prepared for Sunday’s race.”
To date, both Force India drivers have each completed one Grand
Prix in Singapore. In 2011, di Resta finished in a strong sixth position for the team, whereas Hülkenberg, who is one of many drivers named as a possible replacement for Felipe Massa at Ferrari next year, had managed tenth place with Williams in 2010.
