Why is Force India horrible?

May be...

They're doing better in 2009 than in 2008 in my opinion. They are still a young team. Minardi were always slow but F1 miss that team.

I don't tthink so. from 2003-2007(frm jordan-midland-spyker) the team remained nothing but an backmarker...with no one considering them...there always was an separate race going on between minardi & jordan...and rest of tne field lapping them...mostly jordan finished 2 laps behind the top teams.
In 2008 it became force india fRom spyker...and we saw the car,which was not developed from the start of 2006 season ...being turned into an car which can keep an ferrari on its back for 7 laps flat(remember monza,kimi 2008)..which was Not the case with spyker,midland...who used to find it difficult or rather couldn't even match the pace of a team like super aguri which was developed from scratch!...

in 2008 the gap decreased from 2sec(2007) to 1sec(2008) between top teams and force india(during qualifying).
and now in 2009...we see the gap decreased to some times less than 1 sec...!...and we also saw an double finish frm Force India @ australia with sutil 9th and fisichella 12th!

with fischella's FI not being the last car to pass the chequered flag!

its an achivement and I think they are headed towards the right direction...consistently finishing on points latest after malaysia would help us call force india an success for 2009...

Good Luck Force India!!!

They're not as technically advanced as the competitors. They also use a different type of fuel/ You'd think they'd learn after the first million losses...lol

I watched only a few gps so far but why is Force India always last? I always see sutil crash....

i am no f1 expert or hardcore fan, can someone explain?

cuz....its india?

They are not very good because they probs have the worst car and their drivers haven't had much experience. That's also why he crashes a lot to. Sutil crashing is just down to inexperience and a lack of focus on the track.
Hopes thsi helps.

Its mainly down to
1. Few team members
2. Small facilities
3. Money, not as bad as it used to be but not loaded that's for sure
4. And 1 past it and 1 very average driver.
From 1991- 2005 the team was called jordan, which had a few very competitive years, (4 wins, 2 poles, 2 fastest laps). sadly when Honda decided to back BAR only for post 2002 for reasons I'll never understand, Jordan never had time to get a competitive engine for 2003, settling for an old Ford motor, despite a lucky win( which wasn't awarded for a week and people think the Hamilton-Trulli- Australia incident is new) at Brazil, the season was poor, many sponsors ebbed away, so no money was left for development, jordan sold out to Alex Shnaider at the close of 2004 (jordan name kept for 2005) and midland F1 launched in 2006, bad car, bad drivers no development, Shnaider sold out for a large profit 2/3rds of the way through the season to Spyker, a tiny super car manufacture, who tried hard but never had any money and by end of 2007 were nearly crippled, selling out to Vijay Mallya, force India were born.
I think they are doing ok, the gap to the big teams has shrunk dramatically but many of the key elements that made Jordan successful has long since disappeared.

They are a new team, first ever from india. I think it will take time for them to climb up.

that's because force India is still a young & inexperienced team as compared to its competitors in terms of technology & strategical execution ....moreover its kind of expecting Adrian sutil to rise through the ranks as it happened with Alonso or raikonen in their early formative years in formula 1(...Michael schumacher was the one who said it would happen.. ).coming to fishicella,the most experienced driver in the team is a technically sound driver but not a champion driver...its the same with him as it was with Rubens barricallo in the Ferrari team....

They're a fairly new team that had to start from scratch, which makes them less advanced. The drivers aren't all that great either.window media player for my treo 650
