Force India Principal Vijay Mallya has admitted that the team needs to step up their game in order to hold off the challenge posed by Sauber.
“The races after the summer break haven’t been very positive in terms of scoring points, but the morale in the team remains strong. Korea and Japan were not the easiest of weekends, but everyone in the team is working really hard to recapture our early form. It’s all a matter of finding the right balance with the car – when we do that, we will be back in the points,” said Mallya.
Force India has been on a poor form after the summer break picking up just one point, while Sauber has managed to score 38 points in the last four races and now sits 17 points behind Force India.
“Sauber have been doing a very good job lately. They are the in-form team at the moment and they have been taking all the opportunities that were presented to them. It’s going to be a real fight in these last four races: we need to make a step forward to hold them off, because they can qualify well and they have strong race pace as well,” Mallya added.
