"The best of the rest" title is something that's coveted for the Formula 1 midfield and Force India held it for two seasons in a row, beginning in 2016. It was also the only year where the team scored more than one podium, two third places from Perez helping them to a fourth-placed finish in the constructor's championship. Hulkenberg impressively qualified in second place in Austria as well, despite the race going horribly.
