Force India to recruit somebody who knows about tyres?

Following the mistake at the German Grand Prix, which saw Force India fit the wrong tyres to Vitantonio Liuzzi’s and Adrian Sutil’s cars, the team were in trouble again on Friday when they bolted the wrong set on to Paul… di Resta’s VJM03.

Watching events in Hungary unfolding on the television at home in Dewsbury, tyre fitter, Wayne Bunion decided to contact Force India to offer his services for the remainder of the season.

Said Wayne this morning; “People think fitting tyres is easy and that putting the right ones on the right car should be common sense but let me tell you it is not” He went on, “I once put a set of 205/65 R15’s on a Mini Metro when they should have been 205/60 R15’s so I know only too well the pressure these guys feel in the pitlane”

Bunion has written to Force India and says he is ready to step in from Spa onwards if he can get the time off work.

Look, we really don’t have any pictures of drivers wives or girlfriends – honestly!

Checking out where our visitors come from, we do seem to have an increase of pervy Googler’s looking for pictures of F1 driver’s better halves. For some reason a chap in Swindon, UK, keeps ending up with us after entering…. (perhaps that’s the wrong word) ‘Adrian Sutil’s girlfriend’ while a determined but ultimately disappointed searcher from Thessaloniki in Greece, is keen on a snap of Jaime Alguersuari’s bird.

We may have the solution. Here is a picture of 22 grid girls and statistically speaking it is entirely likely that at least one of them must have slept with an F1 driver.

Knock yourselves out boys.

Force India’s secret weapon for Suzuka

While Adrian Sutil did end up topping the time sheets for Fifi in practice two for the Japanese Grand Prix, it was actually his mechanics who set the fastest time in the sodden first half hour when they set a… paper boat off down the pitlane. The boat, a scale model of team owner, Vijay Mallya’s Indian Empress yacht, was going a treat past the Williams pit until a marshall stepped on it. Spoilsport.

Boring man ends boring run

The quiet man of F1, Nick Heidfeld (you know the guy, funny voice, silly sunglasses, big beard, drives for BMW?) was so angry on Sunday after Adrian Sutil punted him out of the Singapore Grand Prix, that he very nearly… raised his voice a semi-octave and some observers thought they saw him move an eyebrow.

Heidfeld, who had been in F1 for three years before anybody even noticed he was there, was on course for his forty second consecutive race finish when Sutil cut up his BMW (now there’s a nice change) ending both of their races.

Nick, positively fuming, said that he thought that in addition to giving his countryman a $20,000 fine, officials should also give him a brain.

He is assuming of course that the FIA have any spare brains, which given the events of the last week or so, has to be deemed unlikely.

Badoer begged by team not to make any pit stops at Spa

Luca Badoer, who has recently committed more motoring offences than George Michael, has been instructed by Ferrari to take a radical approach to the Belgian Grand Prix - by running on a zero stop strategy.

At the Valencia race, Luca was… done four times for speeding in the pitlane, he managed to get overtaken by another car, in the pitlane and then got penalised for crossing the white line exiting, you guessed it, the pitlane. As if that wasn’t enough, he also managed to pile into Adrian Sutil’s stationary Force India…in the pitlane.

The team have therefore decided that as he is so slow on the track he is not a danger to anybody there, but keeping him away from the pitlane is definately a very good idea.

Sutil calls International Rescue to save career

While not exactly fighting off teams keen to secure his services for 2010, Force India’s Adrian Sutil has declared he is not ready to commit to his current squad for next year. Sutil has contested more than 40 races with… the team since joining them in their glorious Spyker days.

According to Germany’s ‘Auto Motor und Sport’ Adrian has worked out why Force India are firmly rooted at the back of the grid; “”I don’t think it’s just the money, it is the whole package, perhaps we are just missing a ’superbrain’ - like what Red Bull has in Adrian Newey”.

That must make Fifi boffins, Mark Smith and James Key feel really loved.

A paddock insider told us today that the best solution would be to hire Brains from Thunderbirds himself, adding “Brains single-handedly built several rockets, a selection of ‘planes, a huge orbiting space station and Lady Penelope’s car - which could easily out-drag the VJM02 – plus he has not worked since July 1968 so he would be dead keen to get stuck in”

Brains was unavailable for comment as we went to press.
