Fisichella hopeful of better results in upcoming season

The Italian driver is hopeful that along with the new regulations for 2009, and the Mercedes deal, his Force India team will be more competitive than this year. Force India did not manage to score a single point throughout the entire season, but was constantly dueling with manufacturers such as Honda.

Giancarlo Fisichella said: "I'm looking forward to it. With the new rules it could all change, especially with the slick tyres, and different downforce levels.

"We have a better chance than this year for sure, but nobody knows how things will work out with the new rules! We'll only see that in Australia."
