There are many positives that the Force India team can take from their performance in the Malaysian Grand Prix last weekend. The pace shown in both qualifying and the race shows that the Silverstone based squad is still unlocking further performance from the VJM10.
This is a good sign for the remaining five events of the year, starting with this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix.
Suzuka will give the team another chance to explore their latest developments on a track that is very technical with a big emphasis on aero.
Looking back at Sergio Perez's performance in Sepang, one cant help but be impressed by it.
Despite feeling unwell all weekend, he still managed to deliver one of his best results of the season and he is planning on doing the same thing again this coming weekend in Japan.
“The Japanese Grand Prix is one of my favourite weekends of the season. We receive so much support there: the Japanese fans are amazing and I am really looking forward to meeting all of them. There is a Japanese woman who always dresses up in Mexican colours and she even learned Spanish just to talk to me, it's such a special experience,” he said.
“The track itself is amazing. Sector one is the most beautiful sector in the world, with so many quick corners and an incredible flow. It will be impressive to race on it with these high downforce cars. I think it should be a good weekend for us because we have made some really good progress with the car in the last few races.”
