Force India Team Pricipal Vijay Mallya has thanked Nico Hulkenberg for his contributions to the team during his two years with the Silverstone-based squad.
Ironically for Hulkenberg, Mallya is targeting overtaking Sauber in the Constructors' Championship and with it the extra prize money for sixth place before the season is out. "We have 93 points in the bag, but we are still 23 short of Sauber," he added. "It's a big task to catch them, but anything can happen. We've finished fourth twice and we were very close to a podium in both of those races. If we get a bit of luck in the last three races we might be able to make it up. 23 points is not uncatchable."
