Vijay Mallya hopes to see Force India continue its gradual rise up the rankings following the Silverstone team's most successful season last year since running as Jordan in 2003. The Kingfisher founder and team owner is aiming to see more podium finishes in 2010.
After buying the team - then labelled Spyker - ahead of the 2008 championship, Force India narrowly failed to score in its maiden season before enjoying various high points with both Adrian Sutil and Giancarlo Fisichella last year.
"Our goal is to continue on the same path of performance improvement that we had at the end of 2009," Chairman and Team Principal Mallya commented.
"I don't think I am being over-proud when I say 2009 was an exceptional year for us. The bare statistics say it all: one podium, one pole position, one fastest lap, a further five top 10 starts and 13 points. We've learnt from our experiences and we've come out a better team - resilient, resourceful and now resurgent.
"I hope 2010 will see this great progress carrying forward. We've got one podium so far but I would hope that, this time next year, I'm talking about more points and more podiums; I'm confident we can get this - why not aim high?"
