Sunday: Force India solid with Hülkenberg and Pérez in the top 10
By placing its two drivers in the points, the Indian team demonstrates once again its consistency. It finishes first among the customer teams with Mercedes engines.
Nico Hülkenberg (#27) – 6th
In finishing sixth, the German driver is very satisfied, especially since both Indian cars finished in the points. He recounts his race: « For me, it was a pretty straightforward race after overtaking Massa: I had to manage my tires, my pace, and avoid mistakes, and it only got tricky at the end when Bottas got a little closer. We beat all the other Mercedes customer engines, which are currently our main competitors, but we also saw several other teams raise their level, so we need to keep pushing our efforts. »
Sergio Pérez (No. 11) – 9th
After starting 16th, the Mexican is satisfied to finish in the points: « It wasn’t easy to overtake today, even cars on a different strategy, so I think ninth place was the maximum. It means I’ve scored points in three out of four races, but I was hoping for more after the Bahrain weekend. We can also see that all the teams are finding their pace, so we must keep working hard to be ready for Barcelona. »
