For Force India it was an impressive result considering the fact that the team vehicle survived a fire-bomb during anti-government protests in the capital of the Gulf kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Di Resta said the two pit-stops worked wonders for the team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The result today is massive for us. The team did an amazing job all weekend, the strategy came together and the pit-stops were perfect. We knew it would be a big ask to make only two stops and it was a close run thing at the end because my tyres completely went away on the final lap,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The young driver said he was happy to finish ahead of former World Champion Fernando Alonso. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had Fernando (Alonso) very close behind me, but I saved a bit of KERS coming out of the final corner and managed to stay ahead. Apart from that, the car has been awesome. So we go away from here as a very happy team with a few weeks to reflect on things and determined to arrive in Barcelona in fighting form,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hulkenberg said clutch issues with his car proved costly for him. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think my race was decided at the very start when I had some clutch issues and the anti-stall kicked in, which really compromised my getaway and dropped me right to the back of the pack. From then on it was a long, hard fight back through the field, and it was hard work coming through the traffic. So a tough race for me, but great to see Paul pick up some points,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy team principal Robert Fernley heaved a sigh of relief considering everything that has gone on this week<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am delighted to see such a strong team performance in today&#8217;s race. We took a brave call on the strategy with Paul, but it paid off, and having saved the tyres yesterday allowed us to push the two-stop window right to the limit. Once again Paul drove a superb race, lapping consistently and making the strategy work perfectly. This sixth place is well-deserved and matches his best result in Formula One,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fernley also said that clutch issues robbed Force India a chance to make two top-10 finishes. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a shame that Nico was the victim of a clutch issue on the opening lap, otherwise I&#8217;m sure he would have been up there fighting for points as well,&#8221; he said. <strong>(IANS)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manama: Force India driver Paul Di Resta feels that his sixth place finish here in Sunday&#8217;s Bahrain Grand Prix was a massive result for the Silverstone-based team.
