It seems Christian is ready to fight for a place in F1 next year. YAY! Come on Christian :) I know you can do it :)
Christian Klien has said he would welcome a shoot-out session between a number of drivers to see who is the best driver for the Force India F1 team. Earlier this month Colin Kolles already revealed to GPUpdate.net that the test session in Jerez next month would decide who would race with the team in 2008.
Speaking about a possible shoot-out between drivers Klien told F1.com: "If Force India chooses to develop a shoot-out I will do whatever I am asked to do, give it my best and not worry about the other drivers. When I was winning in karting, Formula Renault and Formula Three - against other current F1 drivers - I never worried about them, just the challenge of making the car work properly and racing well. So much in racing is about the equipment you have and the people in the team supporting you, so when you have an equal chance it's easier to show what you can do."
All Klien targets at the moment is a race seat in Formula 1, there are no other options he admits. "I am not thinking about a plan B, just a plan A - to race in F1," said Klien. "There are drivers in F1 at the end of their careers, other drivers at the start, others in the middle. Times have changed. Teams need young quick drivers with a future in the sport, and preferably with good experience too. I have raced drivers like Lewis (Hamilton) and Nico (Rosberg) and I feel we represent the new generation of F1 - so that's my plan!"

He's got that fighting spark still burning hasn't he? Awesome.
ITV F1 has only just caught up though. They have essentially the same story dated for today, but that particular article is from Friday though I only saw it on Saturday...
