3 days till the eagerly anticipated Spanish Grand Prix, and most people including myself can not wait, it's been a long three week break since the start of the Bahrain Grand Prix and its good to be back into racing. Myself as a F1 fan support the Sahara Force India F1 Team, because I enjoy the way that Hulkenberg and Perez drive aggressively. I also believe they have been unlucky in there respective career's so far, and I would love to see them progress to the top of the grid and take Force India with them. Plus the team has good origins dating back to Eddie Jordan's original team.

Anyway, with 3 days to go, Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez have stated there thoughts on the upcoming weekend. With Hulkenberg returning from the WEC (World Endurance Championship) 6 hours of Spa, after achieving a 6th place with his Porsche Hybrid 919. Hulkenberg's said in an interview with the Formula One Website: “We all know the Barcelona track really well. You have to think about how to approach a lap because it’s important to look after your tyres. If you take too much out of them in the first sector, you end up paying the price in the final one, so finding the right balance is the key". Sergio Perez also said in the inteview: “As a track, Barcelona is a demanding place to drive a Formula One car, with both fast and slow sections. It’s a big test of the aero package - similar to somewhere like Sepang. Overtaking is never easy because it’s difficult to get really close to another car, so good track position really pays off".

Force India have had a pretty miserable season so far, after arriving at pre-season testing late, they have only managed to pick up 11 points and 8th in the constructors standings. However progress has come for the team in Bahrain, with Perez finishing in 8th place, after Hulkenberg had a blistering run in qualifying, with 8th of the grid. Vijay Mallya the teams owner and principal has stayed positive and was quoted saying: “It’s still early days in the season, but it’s worth noting how closely-matched the midfield teams remain. There are times when we see up to ten cars within half a second of each other, which means that any improvements we can bring to the car will have a big impact on our results".
