The Mercedes powered cars weren't favored this weekend yet amidst the confusion of the race, Force India walked away from the weekend with both cars finishing in the points. Sergio Perez, whose contract with the team was confirmed for next year, finished fifth while the birthday boy Esteban Ocon brought the car home in 10th.

With only six races to go and a 65-point lead over the fifth-placed Williams Mercedes, the results from this weekend have only consolidated the team's fourth spot in the Constructors championship standings.

Despite the many run-ins between the Perez and Ocon, Force India have kept their driver line-up unchanged for next year on the back of a strong 2017 campaign.
