Sahara Force India endured a very competitive qualifying session for tomorrow's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as Paul di Resta will start the race from 12th place while Adrian Sutil was way back in 18th position on the grid.

Sutil's fastest lap of 1:42.051 could not took him beyond Q1 as he was among the first six who were eliminated.

Di Resta clocked his best lap in 1:41.133, which was a slight improvement from his best Q1 timing (1:41.676) but that could not take him into Q3.

Force India, which took six points from the Indian Grand Prix to extend their lead to 23 over Sauber have reasons to worry as Nico Hukenberg has qualified sixth, his second-best of the season.
