Don’t cut the chicane! The FiA has doubled the height to discourage straying off the tarmac. If you don’t believe me, just ask Timo Glock… a 180° mid-air turn is very convincing.  Force India continues to impress, but this weekend looks to be Sutil’s as he places 3rd in P1 and 1st In P2.  This is no surprise, as Vijay Mallya’s team has been fastest in the speed traps all year long.
