Force India indicated that it did not expect to move up any higher from the positions it achieved in theSpanish Grand Prix on Sunday adding that the VJM04 needed more speed to catch up in the standings.
Rookie driver Paul di Resta finished ahead of experienced teammate Adrian Sutil – now for the third time in five outings – in 12th and 13th respectively after the 66-lap race in a result it expected to be.
“I think we can go away quite satisfied with the result today, especially after making up four places on our grid position,” the Scot said after the race.
“I also got stuck a few times behind the Toro Rossos in the first, second and third stints, without which I probably could have finished a bit higher up,” di Resta pointed out.
The Silverstone-based outfit currently lies eighth in the constructors’ championship behind two teams it finished ahead of last year signifying the lack of pace compared to its immediate rivals.
“We know we have plenty of work to do before next week’s race in Monaco and we still need to find some speed if we want to stay at the front of the midfield battle,” deputy team principal Robert Fernley added.
“Sauber, Williams and Toro Rosso are all very closely matched at the moment and we need to establish our position at the head of that group and pushing the top ten.”
