Caterham to bring updates to Valencia

MONTREAL, CANADA – JUNE 10: Heikki Kovalainen of Finland and Caterham drives during the Canadian Formula One Grand Prix.

The Caterham Formula 1 team is counting on some ‘significant updates’ they intend to introduce in the European Grand Prix, to bring them closer to the midfield. So far, the team has failed to impress this season and remained in the background. However, the team plans to introduce updates for the European GP as well as the British Grand Prix.

Technical Director Mark Smith said: “We have a couple of quite significant updates coming in Valencia and Silverstone. We will take a look at a number of new aerodynamic elements in Valencia as well as some minor modifications to the floor and even though we will not know exactly what they will give us until we get out on track, we are cautiously optimistic they will help us keep edging ever closer to the midfield.”

Team Principal Tony Fernandes is still hoping the team will be able to score at least some points this season as they have failed so far. He said: “At the next two F1 races, in Valencia and Silverstone, we will see the fruits of the hard work being done by everyone at the factory with a number of important upgrades on the cars. While we are honest enough with ourselves to know that these upgrades alone will not be enough to force our way into the midfield pack, we do know it is a statement of our intent to join the group just ahead that we are updating the car at the same rate or even more quickly than our rivals.”

“We have the people and resources in place to achieve our goal of scoring a point this year and we are edging ever closer to a group of cars that is now tantalizingly close.”
