Force India to introduce improved diffuser

New Delhi: Encouraged by the double finish in Bahrain, Force India will introduce an improved version of the interim diffuser and some further aero upgrades in the Formula One Spanish Grand Prix next month, team chairman Vijay Mallya said.

After the much-debated diffuser used by Brawn, Williams and Toyota got the clearance from FIA, Force India too jumped on the bandwagon and got a prototype double diffuser onto the VJM02 cars for Bahrain Grand Prix.

The updates did make a difference as Giancarlo Fisichella finished 15th, followed by teammate Adrian Sutil after both had risen to top 10 at some stages.

“We have another update coming in Barcelona, more particularly an improved version of this interim diffuser, and some further aero upgrades,” Mallya, who is in South Africa for the Indian Premier League, said.

He said with other teams constantly trying to raise the bar, upgrading was necessary.

“In the midfield everything is separated by hundredths now, and to be in the hunt is quite an impressive achievement,” Mallya said. — PTI
