Mumbai: With the double-decker diffuser turning out to be the biggest weapon this season, Force India has decided to introduce a modified diffuser for the next weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix. This was revealed by team owner Vijay Mallya in conversation with DNA over the phone.
"The (double-decker) diffuser is providing a huge advantage to the three teams (Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams). We have been developing a diffuser which will be put on the car for the Bahrain GP," Mallya said.
He added that it will be an interim diffuser and that a fully competitive one would be introduced for the Monaco GP. Meanwhile, both Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil expressed their disappointment on finishing at the back in the qualifying session.
Fisichella said that the team has no chance on Sunday whatsoever. "It is possible only if everybody stops," he said.
Speaking about the introduction of new diffuser for the next race, the Italian driver said, "It should be better as we are expecting an improvement by three-tenths of a second per lap."Adrian Sutil said he wasn't happy with the way the qualifying went. "We had no grip. That's why we are at the back. The tyres are difficult to handle and for us with lower downforce cars it is a bigger problem," the German said.
