Giancarlo Fisichella is expecting a very difficult race for the Jordan Grand Prix after yet another disappointing performance in Sunday's warm-up for the Brazilian Grand Prix.

Italian Fisichella, who will start the race from 14th place on the grid today, finished in 19th position in the warm-up, with teammate Takuma Sato setting the slowest time of the session.

Fisichella, who on Saturday admitted his Bridgestone tyres are no match for the Michelin rubber, complained about the lack of grip at the Interlagos circuit.

"It's going to be a very difficult race for us," said Fisichella after the warm up. "The grip is very poor and we are just not quick enough. We will have to look at what strategies we can run in the race if we are to make any progress."

Fisichella, who returned to Jordan after a four-year spell at Benetton, is yet to score a point this season.
