Force India - A weekend to forget.


The Stig's Mrs...

Schoolboy errors in today's German Grand Prix caused the Force India team to have their worst weekend of the 2010 World Championship at Hockenheim today.

In a first lap incident, both Adrian Sutil and Vitantonio Liuzzi had to pit.  The team looked confused as Adrian came in to the pit box.  They changed the tyres on Adrian's car and sent him back out.  Tonio behind needed a new nose and was sent out again.

The team however in all the confusion managed to put the wrong tyres on the wrong car.  Adrian got Tonio's tyres and vice-versa.  As a result, the cars were called back into the pits to change the tyres back.

This put both cars to the back of the field and on lap 10, Adrian was lapped by the race leader Felipe Massa.

We're looking like we're a minnow again, not a midfield runner.

Just under halfway through the race, Adrian has clawed his way up to 15th place with Jaime Alguersuari all over the back of him and considering that Alguersuari took his team mate Buemi out at the beginning of the race, we should be worried!

Another pitstop for tyres for Adrian.  That's his third stop of the race, he's dropped the place to Alguersuari again and is in 18th place.  Liuzzi is ahead by nearly 20 seconds.

Strangely, the fastest lap of the race so far is a 1:17.300 on lap 38 set by Adrian Sutil!

Sutil having real problems today and cannot gain time on Liuzzi, he's fallen back by nearly 10 seconds.

This really is a weekend to forget.
