2016 F1 Mid-Season Review: Force India

The Force India team have shown us again in 2016 that they are still a team to reckon with, even if they still fail to earn themselves a Grand Prix win.

Vijay Mallya’s squad entered this season with a tweaked version of their 2015 car, which showed strong pace last year with Sergio Perez’s third place finish in Russia the biggest highlight.

The Mexican driver has done Force India some great favours this campaign too, earning two third-place finishes at the Monaco Grand Prix and European Grand Prix respectively.

Teammate Nico Hulkenberg has failed to break into the top five so far this campaign, with a personal best finish of sixth place.

Force India haven’t equalled their highest finish of second place for seven years, where Giancarlo Fisichella secured the record finish at the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, however, the first half of the 2016 season has seen the team break a record, as they secured more than just a single podium in the same season.

Here’s a look at their year-to-date in greater detail.
