The Monaco fairytale with a poignant end would surely rankle Force India for some time but team owner Vijay Mallya returns with the twin convictions that he has got a world class driver in Adrian Sutil and that the team is capable of top five finish.Mallya said it was not only Sutil who had tears in his eyes after Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen had bumped into the back of his car and wrecked the race of his career with the German running a stunning fourth."We all were in tears, it was not him alone," Mallya said."We were so proud for coming so near to a fourth place finish and then Kimi rammed into the back of Adrian's car. Everyone had tears in their eyes because everyone is so emotionally attached with the team," he recalled."I was shattered. It was the toughest race in difficult conditions but we had prepared well for the rain. Even after our poor qualification, I was still optimistic. We put our rain strategy in place and it worked perfectly before that shocking incident."Sutil, considered by many as the man of the Monaco race, started on the 18th but cut through the mid-field and survived many an intrigue on the twisty 3.34km track of Circuit de Monaco to rise to fourth place.With just three laps and seven minutes to go, Raikkonen's Ferrari rammed into Sutil's VJM01, wrecking his race leaving the German inconsolable in the pit.The team subsequently lodged a complaint with the stewards about Raikkonen's action but the Finn got away without punishment. Raikkonen subsequently tendered an apology to Sutil and the German too decided to forgive the Finn.Despite missing out on points, Mallya returned convinced about the potential of the car and the drivers, especially Sutil, who earlier seemed to have a cloud of doubt over his Force India seat following his three DNFs in the first four races."It was a spectacular race by Adrian. He proved he is a world class driver, capable of matching the best in the business," said Mallya, who, however, had an unflinching faith in the German.Mallya said Sutil just didn't have his slice of luck, which forced him out of the race on the previous occasions."He did not have luck in the races where he could not finish. He's an exceptionally talented driver and I'm very happy for him. He and the entire team have boosted my confidence," he said.According to him, the team in Monaco gave enough inklings that it was capable of top five finish."We've showed that we are competitive and have improved a lot in the last six months. We executed a brilliant race strategy and car set up and but for that mishap, we would have finished among the top five."Surely it's a disappointment not to finish with points, I think we've shown the world that we are capable of a top five finish," said Mallya, oozing confidence.
