Home Improvement: Interview with Giancarlo Fisichella
After a season that saw Giancarlo Fisichella completely overshadowed by his championship-winning teammate, the Italian is optimistic that he can close the gap to Fernando Alonso this year - and earn the coveted contract extension with Renault for 2007. Adam Cooper talked to Fisichella after the San Marino GP
This time last year Fernando Alonso had amassed 36 points, and his teammate Giancarlo Fisichella had scored 10. All of the latter came from the first race in Australia, when the Italian took full advantage of a helping hand from the weather in qualifying to score a well-judged victory.
After such a great start, everything that could go wrong for the Italian did exactly that - a collision with Mark Webber in Malaysia, engine failure in Bahrain, and a suspension failure at Imola. It took him the best part of the season to regain his momentum.
