Force India driver Vitantonio Liuzzi will start Sunday’s Canadian Formula One Grand Prix with a different chassis after struggling to score points in recent races.
“The last few races have been pretty tough as we’ve been struggling with a general lack of grip that makes it hard for me to give the maximum,” the Italian said in a team preview on Tuesday.
“Monaco was OK and I thought we had solved the issues so it was quite frustrating in Turkey that I couldn’t make the most of our new development items.
“We’ve put in some long hours at the factory and found some minor damage on the chassis that we picked up in Monaco. We thought we had fixed it but as a precaution we are switching back to the chassis I used in the first four races,” he said.
Liuzzi has scored 10 points in seven races, compared to German team mate Adrian Sutil’s 22. The Italian finished out of the points in the last race in Turkey, after ninth place in Monaco. He also failed to score in the three races before Monaco. — Reuters
