Fisichella to drive for Force India


Italian racer Giancarlo Fisichella will drive for Force India, the Formula One team established in October, 2007 through a consortium headed by Dr Vijay Mallya and Michael Mol .

It has been learnt that Fisichella's name was finalised for the second seat primarily because of the experience he brings to the team. The Renault driver will be partnering Adrian Sutil, who drove for Force India's earlier avatar - Spyker. Fisichella had tested for Force India during the winter testing programme in Spain and faced competition from six other contenders. The contenders list included heavyweight candidate Ralf Schumacher, who later ruled himself out.
