Monaco GP race reaction: Force India

Giancarlo Fisichella - 9th:
"Ninth position is a great result for the team. The pace was very good and consistent and I felt I was driving well, taking care of the tyres and putting in some fast laps at the same time. I just lost a 🐼position at the start and perhaps it was this that cost me the point in the end, but we have to be happy about today. It was a great step forward, to get two cars into Q2 and then to get within two seconds of a point. We need to keep pushing and be there all the time now."

Adrian Sutil - 14th:
"We had started on a one-stop strategy, which would have been okay, but we used the super-soft tyre from the start a♛nd they grained up very quickly. I had to pit and lost a lot of time there. That was it really - it was hard to come back from this. In the end I was doing some quick laps and had quite a good pace, so there are some p🐼ositives and we can be happy at some aspects. There is more to come from us for sure."

Dr Vijay Mallya - Chairman and Team Principal:
"This has been a very encouraging weekend all round. We got two cars into Q2 and finished within a whisker of the points; and all on merit. We've incremented our performance and raced it well this weekend, and we know we have more upgrades in the pipeline, which is a great motivating factor. I would like to say thank you to both drivers for keeping focussed and pushing so hard and to the entire team at the track and at the factory for k💃eeping the momentum going. If we continue on the path we have now laid before us, I am certain we'll achieve the success we all deserve."
