Sutil chasing points at home

Saturday 11th July 2009

Adrian Sutil is looking for his first points-scoring finish of the season on Sunday in Germany after recording his best ever qualifying performance.

The German, who has in the past proven himself to be a quick in the wet, qualified seventh for Sunday's German GP, even beating the likes of Ferrari's Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen.

And with rain expected during the Nurburgring race, Sutil reckons points are on offer for himself and Force India.

"I'm really happy, for sure one of F1's happiest guys today," said Sutil. "It's my home race and my best qualifying position so far in F1, so it was a great qualifying for us.

"It was very tricky with the weather but our decisions were very good and on time, particularly in Q2 with the rain. We took a risk on the dry tyres and we did it a lap earlier than all the others and got the third fastest time.

"Finally, even with the fuel on board Q3 went really well and we got into seventh. I am very happy for everyone on the team. We've worked really hard in the last months. Now we just have to score some points!"
