2011 Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix: Sunday race results

Force India’s Vijay Mallya was thrilled over a double points finish in Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, with Paul di Resta and Adrian Sutil reaching the chequered flag in respective sixth and eighth positions. The Team Principal and CEO now hopes to carry the impetus on to the Japanese Grand Prix at legendary Suzuka next weekend.

“I have to say, I am delighted,” the Indian entrepreneur commented. “We knew we had the performance in the car to get both drivers in the points, but to come away with 12 points is extremely satisfying; it strengthens our sixth place in the championship and moves us closer to fifth place.

“One of the key moments of the race was the Safety Car period, when we chose to pit both cars at the same time. The pit crew did an excellent job of stacking the cars and that played a critical role in where we ultimately finished.

“Both Paul and Adrian have performed brilliantly all weekend and haven’t put a foot wrong. With five races remaining, we now need to build on this momentum so that we continue our strong finish to the season.”
