(Sahara Force India Formula One Team)
The Sahara Force India Formula One Team have confirmed that
they are waiting to see what Ferrari do in relation to their 2015 driver
line-up before the Silverstone based outfit confirm their line-up.
It is expected that Sebastian Vettel will join Kimi
Raikkonen at Ferrari next season after the Finn confirmed on Friday that he
will more than likely stay on at Ferrari beyond his current contract which
expires at the end of next season.
Nico Hulkenberg has linked with a move to Ferrari for a
number of seasons however it has never materialized with the German having been
considered for the seat alongside Fernando Alonso at the Italian team for this
season however the Italian outfit opted instead to re hire Kimi Raikkonen.
As a result Hulkenberg returned to Force India following one
season with the Sauber F1 Team. He had also been considered for a seat
alongside Romain Grosjean at the Lotus F1 Team however they chose Pastor
Maldonado over the German.
Sahara Force India as it turns out have done a fantastic job
compared to the Lotus F1 Team with the Silverstone based outfit in 6th
place in the championship on 123 points, 115 points ahead of the Lotus team.
Force India’s deputy Team Principal Robert Fernley has
stated that the team won’t confirm their line up before the next race in
Austin, Texas.
Sergio Perez confirmed recently that he is confident of
remaining with Force India next season. It is also more than likely that
Hulkenberg will remain with the team next season. The 2014 season has been one
of the German’s best to date and is currently in eighth place in the
championship on 76 points.
