| Symonds lauds Fisichella's efforts Renault's Pat Symonds says that Giancarlo Fisichella is getting the absolute maximum out of the champion team's troubled 2007 car. Fisichella has finished in the points in every race so far this season, and Symonds said his driving is comparable to his heroic 2001 season, when the Italian wrestled remarkable performances - including a podium at Spa - out of an uncompetitive Benetton-Renault chassis. "Giancarlo has been very impressive so far this season," said Renault's managing director of engineering. "A lot of our esteem for him is rooted in the way he handled our 2001 season, when he put huge effort into making the most of a difficult car. "We are seeing something similar this year. "The R27 is a hard car to drive consistently, but in spite of this, he has driven very consistent races. "He has taken the car to the limit of what it is currently capable of, and contributed in every way he can to helping resolve our current problems. "We couldn't ask any more of him." Symonds warned that Fisichella and team-mate Heikki Kovalainen were in line for another challenging Grand Prix in Barcelona. "In previous weeks, we have said that the road back to our normal level of competitiveness will be a long one, and that is still true," he said. "We have made good progress in our analysis and understanding of the R27, but we are not expecting a leap forward in our competitiveness relative to our rivals this weekend. "It will be a tough race weekend where we have to fight for every point." Fisichella is undaunted, and promises to keep pushing all weekend. "Personally, my focus is on the race, and on taking every opportunity to make sure we continue performing to the car's maximum," he said. "The competition is very close at the moment, and we will need to be ready to battle again this weekend." Source = ITV F1 |
