Built to the highest possible standards with no compromises, the facility sets new standards for the sport. We asked team manager Andy Stevenson for his thoughts on the inaugural event. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:40:35 +0000 http://www.forceindiaf1.com/index/page_id/356/news_id/256 For Tonio Liuzzi the Brazilian GP turned into a difficult weekend after a qualifying crash in the atrocious conditions of Q2 left him in 15th place. Unfortunately as a result of the accident he had to change his gearbox, and the subsequent penalty put him to the very back. When the safety car came out shortly after the start the team carried out pit stops on successive laps so that he ran one slow lap on the less favoured option tyre.
