SPORT LD FISICHELLA 3 LAST

Fisichella was keen to join Ferrari, something he had
told reporters in Belgium.

The driver Thursday thanked the Force India management
for letting him go and wished them success.

"I am very grateful to Vijay Mallya for allowing me this
opportunity to drive for Ferrari team. It is true that it has
always been an ambition to do this, and for Vijay to have
allowed it to become a reality is very generous.

"I hope in my turn I have helped Force India grow up and
be on the right path to achieve their own ambitions. They are
now a very competitive team and I wish them all the very
best," Fisichella said in a statement. PTI AY
