Mallya talked to the media and commented, “I have often been asked in Spa/Monza, 'oh this is a track that suits your car so you should do well', and I said,' look, if we want to be anywhere in the constructors' championship and score points then we need
to build a car that is capable of racing and being competitive everywhere'.”
He added, “Before Monza I said we had to get ahead of Sauber and secure P6 in the constructors' championship. It is not that we have no development or facilities, but it is just the sheer commitment, and creative thinking and passion that our guys have that
really deserves credit.”

sixth in Singapore.
