Mallya happy with Force India's week in Jerez

Force India team owner Vijay Mallya is positive about the team's four-day test in Jerez. The team saw seven different drivers taking place behind the steering wheel, among them experienced drivers such as Giancarlo Fisichella and Ralf Schumacher.

Speaking about this week's test Mallya said: "The test has been a very fruitful one for the team. Not only have we demonstrated the strong potential of the team by attracting five highly talented drivers to test for us, it's also been very motivating for the team to have the benefit of their experience to help develop the car.

"This week has had a very positive impact on the motivation of the mechanics, engineers and all involved and has shown the sporting community that we are serious about what Force India wants to achieve in Formula 1.

"Thank you to all the drivers who contributed so much and to the hard work of the team for making it such a productive event. It's just the start of many interesting projects for this team."
