Double finish for Force India in Bahrain Grand Prix

Sakhir, April 26: Force India today achieved its modest target of a double finish in the Bahrain Grand Prix with Giancarlo Fisichella bringing home his car in 15th position, followed by teammate Adrian Sutil.

Starting 17th on the grid, Fisichella gained four places from his starting position on the first lap and had graduated to 12th by his first pit stop on lap 15.
The Italian then moved up to 10th and by the midpoint of the race was racing with Renault and McLaren cars.

The Italian, however, had increasing discomfort in the closing stages of the race with his seat and he finished the race 15th.

Sutil had a strong race from 19th on the grid and the German was 11th by his late first stop, thanks to an aggressive strategy.
