Vijay Mallya would be delighted to see Force India achieving another double points finish this weekend as the local team races at Silverstone with what he describes as a car which is ‘better than anything we’ve had in many years’.
After picking up a pole position and podium result in Belgium last year, Force India has enjoyed its strongest first half to a season in 2010 since being under its original guise as Jordan. The Indian Chairman and Team Principal now hopes to see Adrian Sutil and Vitantonio Liuzzi stir the highly knowledgeable British crowds.
“It's a very big weekend and obviously Silverstone is where we really want to perform well,” Mallya began. “It's the home race for us now, there's a lot of involvement from the guys in the factory and the whole team enjoys the race weekend.
“We've got a little update coming, over and above what we had in Valencia, and hopefully we can bring both cars home well into the points. Clearly this car is better than anything we've had at Silverstone in many years.”
With the circuit entrance being just a short walk from the team’s factory gates, thoughts of a podium can’t escape Vijay’s mind.
“I've said before that the objective of 2010 was to regularly score points and I think we're meeting that objective,” he continued. “Spa and Monza are tracks that will suit the car better and if we can get a podium that would be the icing on the cake; but if not, at least we're demonstrating that we're scoring points - we're up to 43 now and this team hasn't done as well in a long while.”
