Sunday: Both Force Indias back in the points

Paul Di Resta – 6th:

« It’s a great feeling to finish 6th and make the one-stop strategy work. I said yesterday that we opted for race-oriented settings and it really paid off today. There were times when we had to be fast and others when we had to manage our pace and take care of the tires. Towards the end of the race, I was battling with Fernando and Lewis, but it was impossible to hold off Fernando because he had fresh softs. Lewis was on mediums so I focused on my exit out of the hairpin and the chicane leading onto the straights, and I was able to stay ahead. The eight points are what we needed, and everyone in the team deserves this reward for all the efforts put in this week. It’s been two good consecutive weekends and we’re heading to Austin determined to continue on this path. »

Adrian Sutil – 10th:

« Given that I started 17th, I must be satisfied to have scored a point and I am happy with the team’s result today. It hasn’t been an easy weekend with the problems encountered during free practice and qualifying, but the strategy was the right one today and we leave with a point. I was 9th until the last lap ahead of Pérez, but at that moment, I had done 27 laps on soft tires and it was very difficult to defend because I had no traction in the slow corners. The points scored in the last two races are very important for the position in the championship [constructors]. »
