Force India more than satisfied with its season

Before the last Grand Prix of the season in Abu Dhabi, Vijay Mallya spoke about his team's season. The director of the Silverstone-based team was satisfied with the first points scored by his drivers.

« At the start of the year we wanted to score points but I also wanted to show that we could progress in every part of the business. We learned from last year's mistakes. (?) jI must say that this year, we exceeded our expectations by getting on the podium, taking a pole and a best lap. We can be proud of this ", Mallya said.

With 13 points in the Manufacturers' championship, the Force India team is ninth, just ahead Toro Rosso. A position that Mallya would like to see evolve in 2010. “ If we can be in a similar position next year and take our chance, we could be mid-table in both championships. »

In the meantime, the team will try to take advantage of the configuration of the Abu Dhabi track to maintain its position in the manufacturers' standings. “ Mathematically, we can gain a position in the championship because we are 13 points behind Renault but it will be difficult. We must consolidate our place. I make it a matter of personal pride to stay ahead of Toro Rosso “, concluded Mallya.
