Force India had a troublesome Canadian Grand Prix. The race ended with a P18 for di Resta and a retirement for Adrian Sutil. Afterwards team principal Vijay Mallya expressed his disappointment with the fact that they couldn't profit from the changing conditions: "A very long and eventful afternoon of racing where we didn’t realise our potential. We had a very quick car and both drivers were competitive, but the circumstances of the race did not go our way."

He continued: "Both drivers picked up damage to their front wings, without which I’m confident we could have come away with a double-points finish because the strategic calls from the pit wall were very good today. We will now go away and analyse our approach to the race so that we can come back stronger in Valencia"

Adrian Sutil explains that his race went south during a safety car period. He collided with Rosberg and got a penalty. "All the cars ahead of me slowed down a lot at the hairpin and I just got caught out," says Sutil. "After the drive-through penalty, I decided it was worth the risk of switching to dry tyres, but it was maybe a few laps too early. I had quite a big snap on my out lap and touched the wall, which broke the left rear suspension."

Paul di Resta also had an eventful afternoon. His problems started after an incident with Heidfeld: "After the restart I think things were going well until I lost my front wing against Nick [Heidfeld] at the chicane when he cut across me. That gave me a drive-through penalty, which I was quite surprised to receive because it only really compromised me."

"After that I was coming back through the field and I was pushing to pass Rubens [Barrichello] in the final few laps. Unfortunately I pushed a bit too hard and clipped the wall, which gave me a puncture. That’s why I had to park the car. It’s a shame because we had a strong car today and we could have come away with some important points."
