Giancarlo Fisichella, the Force India driver, finishes second at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday. The Force India is owned by Vijay Mallya.
Fisichella, 36-year-old Italian driver, has been rumored to have one foot in Ferrari. He shunned extravagance to run a flawless race and trailed Kimi Raikkonen’s Ferrari that had snatched the lead using the Kinetic Energy Recovery System. He earned 8 valuable points.
For only less than a second, Fisichella remained behind Raikkonen. Teammate Adrian Sutil had a rather rollercoaster outing with the German eventually finishing eleventh.
This was the same track when Fisichella had finished second in a Jordan car in the year 1997.
