Spyker targets more points

The Spyker Formula 1 team scored its first point of the season in Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix. The Silverstone based F1 team saw Adrian Sutil finish ninth at first but after Liuzzi was penalised the German moved into P8 and earned the team's first point of the season. Now the team eyes even more points.

Team boss Colin Kolles was pleased with the team's first points but is clearly looking for more now. "Our aim was to finish in the top 10, so to be 9th is beyond our expectations," said Spyker F1 team boss Kolles. "Financially it will be very important, but for the motivation of all the team members it is a real boost. Of course now we have got it, we will still want more! We've been quicker than the Hondas in the past two races and they have two points, so this is now our target."
