Force India chairman Vijay Mallya is confident his team can still overtake Renault in the Constructors Championship and hopes Sundays Canadian Grand Prix will mark the start of that process. Renault are currently fifth with 73 points in kitty and with a 41-point lead over Force India,but Mallya believes its not too late yet.
We are fully focused on the task in hand,which is to score as many points as we can and regain that fifth position in the championship, Mallya said. Were not too far away from Renault and there are plenty of opportunities left to rack points up and some circuits that we should really fly on,including Montreal, added Mallya,also the team principal.
Looking back at the season so far,Mallya said the team have come a long way since last year. Obviously scoring points is always something we are happy about. Seeing the race pace of our car compared to others,I think were right up there,racing with the Ferraris and Mercedes,which is a very nice position to be in. Its positive proof of our improvement and our movement this year, he said in a statement.
Team driver Adrian Sutil also sounded upbeat ahead of Sundays race. The SRW was a development item in Turkey and its a really good system as I can use it without taking my hands off the steering wheel and once we introduce it long-term,it will be very easy to use, Sutil said.
