Force India not losing tech boss until 2011Comments Off Jun.8 (GMM) Force India will not lose its newly-appointed technical director to bitter rivals Lotus until after the start of next season. It was announced last week that Mark Smith, who only replaced the Sauber-bound James Key in February, will join Lotus along with two of his colleagues “at the end of his Force India notice period”. But Silverstone based Force India’s boss and co-owner Vijay Mallya on Tuesday said the technical team “is still very much intact”. “Mark will stay with us until April 2011 and we will, in due course, announce a structure that will take us to the next level of performance,” said the Indian billionaire. “I’m very comfortable with where we are as a team and where we are going.” Mallya also played down the impact of Force India’s legal action against Lotus, Mike Gascoyne and the Italian wind tunnel Aerolab. “The structure and any off track events are for me to worry about, so the team can get on with doing what they do best at the track,” he said. Also on Tuesday, Mallya announced that Vitantonio Liuzzi will switch to a different VJM03 chassis at this weekend’s Canadian grand prix. “Tonio will also revert back to the chassis used for the first four races as we continue to look into why he’s got the lack of grip,” he said. |

The AT & T Williams team carried out the three day test in the Valencia Circuit in Spain, placing the Cosworth V8 CA to seriously give its first steps for the first time in a racetrack. The new Virgin Racing team unveiled its digitally designed racing car known as the VR-01, with Cosworth engine on Wednesday before the initial sampler session in Silverstone. This way, Cosworth F1 executives have expressed their first impressionsIn an interview with Mark Gallagher, Director General of Cosworth F1 (Business Unit) he was asked about “what relevance have this week’s activities had regarding the World Championship:” It’s evident that they are thrilled with the debut in the F1, giving credit to their work with Williams, the Director stated; “Our work with Williams has been very important to collect data, driver’s response and to measure the initial results of the combination of the CA engine to the FW32 chassis. Our first performance measure will always be the durability, and the fact that Rubens and Nico have completed more than 1.200 kms between both, showed that the engine’s reliability has been up to our expectations. We also paid attention to the global success of the overall installation; see how the engine works together with the Williams gear selection and prove all the associated systems, pressures, cooling system, temperatures.. [...] Now, we’re waiting for next week’s test in Jerez where we can take our technical program with the team to the next level. “ However, the Director looked particularly excited with the Cosworth VR-01 combination. “It was very gratifying to see the Virgin-Cosworth VR-01 this week and to welcome the first of our new teams in the Formula One. We have developed a solid work relationship with Virgin Racing during the last months, and I would like to congratulate Nick Wirth and his design team for the results of their efforts. We’re doing all that is possible to support them since the beginning of their activities in F1 and when they join with Williams in Jerez, next week we’ll have two teams in the racetrack which will increase our pre-season activities very much.“ What are you specifically involved with? “We were at Silverstone with Virgin Racing for a shakedown session, as a base before the test in Jerez. Even though the weather conditions were good today, the car worked as expected and it has been a good opportunity to start to understand the new chassis-engine. This will help to insure that we’re capable of doing most of next week’s important test in Spain.“ |
