This year’s Championship will be the Roman’s 14th season in Formula One, which makes him the longest-serving driver on the 2009 grid. And Giancarlo Fisichella has no intention of making this year his last.
“I still love this job, I like driving F1 cars and I am passionate about motorsport,” he said at the launch of Force India’s VJM02.
“Plus I am very confident in this new car and with the new partnership with McLaren and Mercedes. It is a very exciting opportunity for the team, and that in itself is enough to keep me motivated.
He expects the new regulations to rip up the form book, and is optimistic that Formula 1’s new era will be a big opportunity for Force India.
“I think this year is maybe the biggest change for many years, with KERS, slick tyres, downforce and new aero rules, so it’s very exciting,” said Fisichella.
“It would be good to see all the teams mixed up and to be able to fight for points.
“If the car is good, why not even for the podium?”
