Having regained the momentum with 15 points in the last two races, an ambitious Sahara Force India are now looking to snatch fifth place from McLaren as Formula one caravan has reached its penultimate destination of the season.
With 18 points separating the two teams in the constructors' championship, Force India are looking forward to a strong show at this week's United States Grand Prix.
"We're certainly in better shape, but will never take anything for granted. Now have some breathing space behind us. But we won't change our approach heading to Austin. We will go there focussed on closing the gap to fifth place, which is just 18 points," Team Principal Vijay Mallya said.
Paul Di Resta, who has scored 12 points in the last two races, said "these results are a massive boost for everyone at Sahara Force India."
It's great to have a race there, especially at such an impressive facility. I still remember the huge crowd that came to the race last year and the amazing atmosphere. The place was absolutely packed and the whole city was very enthusiastic about Formula One. We go there with high hopes and will try and build on the performance of Abu Dhabi.
The Scot said he likes the track in Austin, specially the sector one.
