Force India boss Vijay Mallya eyes fifth spot in constructors’ championship – Formula 1 news
Force India boss Vijay Mallya has said that they are eyeing to beat Renault to move on to the fifth place in the 2011 Formula 1 constructors’ championship.
Force India secured their first double points finish since the opening race of the season, with Paul di Resta finishing sixth in Singapore and Adrian Sutil at eighth. This resulted in a lead of 12 points over seventh placed Sauber. On the other hand, Force
India have been performing really well to outscore Renault in their last five outings.
Mallya talking about his team’s progress said, “I'm now looking to the remainder of the season with confidence. I see no reason why we cannot build on the performance we showed in Singapore and get some more excellent results in the final few races. I was
focussed on getting ahead of Sauber and securing sixth in the championship. Now I've got my sights set on fifth, and I think we can do it, with a bit of luck!”
Mallya was all praise about both of his drivers for their performance in the season so far. He believed that di Resta had a learning curve experience in Singapore and Suzuka should be a better and easier opportunity for him to show his potential. He was
also adamant that he has faith in both of his drivers.
While the Force India boss is optimistic of his team’s chances at beating Renault for the fifth place in the championship, di Resta is hoping to maintain his good form of Singapore through to Suzuka and aim for his third successive top 10 finish.
He talked about his positive feeling and said, “I'm feeling very positive. Things have really come together quite well in the middle part of the year and I think we've delivered as a team.”
He also as a team player understood what his team principal Vijay Mallya required of him, and is all set and ready to drive as well as he can to beat Renault this season in the constructors’ championship.
