Mallya: A real fight to catch Sauber

Vijay Mallya acknowledges that Force India is presented with ‘real fight’ in its quest to hunt down Sauber for sixth in this year’s Constructors’ Championship. The Silverstone-based team, which scored in Monaco for the first time since Malaysia, currently lies eleven points in arrears of the Hinwil-based outfit.

“Looking back on Monaco, I have to say how delighted I was to see Force India back in the points,” Team Principal Mallya commented on Monday. “It’s always a fantastic weekend – probably my favourite race of the year – and to see Adrian fight his way to seventh place was the perfect result after a difficult couple of races for the team.

“The six points scored will be important for our battle in the World Championship because the teams around us are all very competitive. We have a real fight on our hands if we want to catch Sauber and we must continue working hard to maintain our advantage over Toro Rosso.

“Our attention now turns to Montreal, a venue where our cars have traditionally gone well. We have been busy in the wind tunnel developing the low downforce spec of our aero platform, which will hopefully allow us to challenge for more points.”


Last year’s Canadian Grand Prix delivered a double points-scoring result for Force India, with Vitantonio Liuzzi recovering to ninth from a first-corner collision with Felipe Massa as Adrian Sutil rounded out the top ten.
