Adrian Sutil isn't losing too much sleep about Force India's decision to rope in Pedro de la Rosa during testing in Barcelona.

Speculation are increasing that either Sutil or Giancarlo Fisichella will make way for McLaren test driver De La Rosa at Force India next year.

Sutil, though, played down De La Rosa's short stint at Force India, saying he "feels safe".

"It doesn't worry me at all," the German said. "He's a nice guy. He came from McLaren just to have an idea about the car, and everything else we will see in the next weeks, months or in the future.

"I feel safe for myself. The team is happy with my performance and I have my contract here. So I don't have anything to worry about.

"Pedro helped quite a lot with his statements and his comments about the car. It just gave us a little bit of information about where we have to improve."

"Geronimo - There is nothing useful they can get there. If you want to copy something, you might want to think of top teams, not backmarkers. Besides most specs will change for next season, so again nothing useful you can gather there."

"Ferrari,Mercedes customer engines? Tyrrell had to pull over to let Mclaren by when they both were Honda, can't see De La Rosa or Sutil near a podium unless they have spare time cleaning jobs."
