It is now expected that the team's long-time regular Adrian Sutil may have to seek alternate employment, with Friday driver Hulkenberg set to step up to the race seat alongside rookie Scot di Resta.

"Hopefully, the association (with Force India) will be a good one and I look to a good future with them."
