Force India supremo Vijay Mallya announced that he would leave no stone unturned in order to ensure that Force India formula one team gets the best Engine Suppliers, Drivetrain and KERS for the 2009 formula one season.

The performance of Force India this year has been really poor with Adrian Sutil coming within point scoring distance only once , and that time too he couldnt finish the race. Giancarlo Fisichella too looked good in the earlier part of the season, but the overall performance of the Force India formula one team has been really pathetic especially in the second half of the season.

We are now bringing Force India’s debut season to a close in Brazil. I have given the team all the resources they required and I expected significant improvement. As the statistics have shown, we have improved and are now much closer to the midfield, but our progress has rather flattened out since the mid-season. Relative to other teams, we haven’t made as much progress as they have, but to be fair to the team after Hungary I made a conscious decision to put time and resources into 2009.

As many of the media has reported, we are currently looking into our package for next season and I hope I will be able to announce a deal very shortly. I will make sure that my team has the best solution for engine, drivetrain and KERS possible so we can get a good head start and try to get the points that have eluded us so far this season. 

Before we get to that stage however I would like to see a strong performance in Brazil. We are not finished yet – one more race represents one more chance to score points. While we’re realistic, we can’t give up yet.  Mr. Vijay Mallya said

Good for the team that Mr. Mallya is optimistic, but as a fan i am yet to see concrete improvements in the team atleast in the second half. Hopefully their 2009 challenge will be much stronger.
