Adrian will remain 2010 with Force India F1 Team
Adrian and his Team agreed to continue
Adrian Sutil and The Force India Formula One Team confirmed, that Adrian will start next year again for the Indian Team. The contract will be signed within the next days. His teammate will be Vintantonio Liuzzi as at the end of the last season.
Adrian is quite happy about the agreement: '2010 will be my fourth consecutive year with the team. I feel good here, it feels like family, and when you feel at ease you can focus your energy 100% on getting it right on track. Next season I want to be in the points on a regular basis, maybe even challenging for the podium, and the team has exactly the same goals. We are going massively in the right direction so with our combined energies I'm confident we can achieve even more than last season.'
2010 will be Adrian's fourth season in Formula 1. The 26-year-old German started his F1 career with Force India's predecessors, Midland, as a test and reserve driver in 2006 before graduating to a race seat with Spyker in 2007. In 2009 he recorded his best-ever F1 finish of fourth at the Italian Grand Prix, also securing his first front row start.
Dr Vijay Mallya, chairman and team principal, commented, 'We are very pleased to retain the services of both Adrian for another season. We have always maintained that consistency is key at this stage in the team's development and for the first time in many years we will have the continuity of not only the same drivers, but also the same engine and senior management. With this stability now in place I truly believe we have an excellent platform to build on and move forward on our strong 2009 performance. I am sure we have one of the most dynamic line-ups on the grid and I hope this will stand us in good stead in what we all hope will be a transitional year for the team.'

a very big congratulations to you ADRIAN SUTIL. this is great news. you are a great driver.... i just hope that next year the car will be very competetive even in medium and high downforce tracks, so that your true driving skills can be seen by all... i also hope for a little more good luck to smile on force india so we do not have rubbish incidents like the ones we had with jamie, heiki and jarno..... on all three occasions i feel adrian was unlucky. i wish you all the very best adrian.... hope to see you on podiums regularly in 2010.
