Driver of the day at Bahrain: Fisichella

By on

The Force India F1 Team was celebrating at Bahrain yesterday afternoon. The team recorded its first double finish of the season and Giancarlo Fisichella was able to finish the Bahrain Grand Prix in 12th position.

On Saturday, Fisichella was disappointed to again have missed out on Q2. But on Sunday, the Roman was one of the best drivers on the track. Starting from 18th position on the grid, Fisico was able to finish 12th in his VJM-01. " I am really happy about my race, the team has done a good job so far and we just need to improve the car a little bit more and then we will be there,” he said after the race.

For Williams F1 Team driver Nico Rosberg, Fisichella was the 'driver of the day' at Bahrain. "For me, it was Giancarlo Fisichella," the youngster said.

Everybody must have noticed that Fisichella is lifting Force India higher than they've been before. The team has improved 2seconds since last year and is close to make it into Q2. Next week, the Silverstone-based outfit will be testing at Barcelona and of course they will try out new components on the VJM-01.
