Adrian Sutil says that "anything is possible" for Force India at the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend.
Force India is now sixth in the constructor's championship having overtaken Sauber thanks to Paul di Resta's eighth place at the Italian Grand Prix. Having previously been strong on low downforce circuits such as Spa and Monza, Sutil says the opposite is now true for Force India, and that Singapore should see it more competitive than in recent races.
"The low downforce configuration of Monza did not really work that well for us so Singapore should be better," Sutil said. "It's the opposite of how it was before: we are now more competitive on downforce circuits, so we should be quite strong. With a good strategy I think anything is possible there."
For di Resta it represents a first visit to the Marina Bay circuit, and he says that he hopes the weather will allow him as much time as possible to get to learn the track.
"I was there last year watching and walked the track, so I know the layout," di Resta said. "But it's true that Singapore is probably going to be one of the more difficult tracks to get up to speed on because it's such a long lap. Also, with any street circuit you need to build up your confidence over the weekend.
"I definitely enjoy the challenge and you have to take a slightly different approach to them (street circuits). It's all about having as much time in the car so that you can push right to the limits of the track. We will also need to keep any eye on the weather because any rain storms could hamper things. I just hope we get some dry weather while I learn the track."
