Force India's Journey in F1 (2008-2018): Cars, Drivers, Stats and more

2014 - VJM07

Sergio Perez scored the team's first podium since 2009 at Bahrain in 2014.

Drivers: Hulkenberg & Sergio Perez

Best Qualifying: 4th

Best Finish: 3rd

Points Scored: 155 (6th in the Constructor's Standings)

Sergio Perez had a poor year with McLaren in 2013, but the Mexican's switch to Force India for 2014 revitalized his career. Perez scored a sensational podium in Bahrain, thanks to Force India's Mercedes engines, by far the most powerful and reliable on the grid at the start of the new V6-turbo era. Hulkenberg also rejoined SFI, forming a formidable partnership with Perez over the next three seasons.

2015 - VJM08 & VJM08B

The podium still alluded Hulkenberg, but Perez continued to find it in 2015.

Drivers: Hulkenberg & Perez

Best Qualifying: 4th

Best Finish: 3rd

Points Scored: 136 (5th in the Constructor's Standings)

Force India finally improved on their best constructor's finish of sixth place in 2015, despite scoring less points than the previous year. Perez scored another podium this year, avoiding the chaos ahead of him in Russia to cross the line in third place. Hulkenberg outscored Perez in 2014, but couldn't repeat the feat in 2015. This was also the first and only season where they ran a "B car", replacing the VJM08 for their home race in Britain.
