FORMULA 1 - FORCE INDIA IS MAGNANIMOUS

Hello F1 lovers,

Is it Bad or Good news for Force India? Your guess is as good as mine.

The next race on 13th will show who is lucky.

Giancarlo Fisichella has left Force India to join Ferrari for the rest of the Formula One season as a for Luca Badoer, who qualified last and finished no better than 14th in his first two races since stepping in for the injured Massa.

He will be in Ferrari colours when they race at the Italian Grand Prix which takes place in Monza on September 13.

"I'm in seventh heaven,'' Fisichella told Ferrari's website. "I'm still having a hard time believing the fact that the dream of my life is coming true.
"In the last week incredible things have happened to me - the pole position and second place in Spa and now the call from Ferrari... I'm going to give my all to pay back Ferrari for such a great opportunity.''

Fisichella finished second in last weekend's Belgian GP, giving Force India its first points in Formula One.

Force India chairman and team principal Vijay Mallya released him without any financial exchange. "For any Italian driver, a Ferrari race seat is a long-held dream....No one should stand in the way of this". "The agreement will secure Giancarlo's long-term future with Ferrari and it would be incorrect to jeopardise this, particularly when Giancarlo has made such a vital contribution to Force India'' .

Force India said it will announce a replacement for Fisichella in the next few days.

If Force India can win points with Adrian Sutil and the new driver it is good news.

Best wishes,

Manoj
