Fisichella set for 200th Grand Prix
Giancarlo Fisichella insists he still feels young at heart ahead of his 200th Grand Prix in Monaco next weekend. The 35-year-old Force India driver, who is competing in his 13th season in Formula One, will become the fifth most experienced driver on the all-time list by the end of the season.
"I still feel young," the three-time grand prix winner told autosport.com."I still feel happy to work in F1, to be an F1 driver. The only problem is travelling around the world all the time, but apart from that I still enjoy it. I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
"I don't think I've changed much, but I hope I'm a better driver than when I started. I've learned quite a lot. How to manage the race, how to manage the qualifying session, and to put more attention on testing and talking with the engineers."
The Italian has also stated his delight at making the switch to Force India after leaving Renault at the end of 2007.
"It was a good but difficult decision," he added. "I was moving from a top team to a new team, which in the last couple of seasons had been on the last rows.
"But so far we've done a fantastic job, we've made a big step forward, and I'm really enjoying it. It's really encouraging. We've still got a lot of work to do, but we are getting closer."
