Force India drivers trail as Vettel wins 2009 Japanese Grand PrixRed Bull racing driver, Sebastian Vettel won from pole position the Formula One 2009 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit, Japan. While Jarno Trulli took the second place for the Japanese Toyota team, Vodafone Mclaren’s Lewis Hamilton came third.

The Force India Formula One Team finished the Japanese Grand Prix with Adrian Sutil in 13th position and Tonio Liuzzi just under a second behind in 14th. Adrian, who had qualified in fourth but had started in eighth position following yesterday's round of penalties, was able to move up to seventh on the opening lap ahead of Nico Rosberg, but on lap four dropped back to ninth behind Kovalainen. The pair raced nose to tail until Adrian finally moved alongside the Finn on lap 13 going into the chicane. Heikki however refused to yield and the pair touched, sending Adrian into a spin and back down the order to 12th. From that point on Adrian's race was compromised and despite racing hard with the Ferrari of Giancarlo Fisichella he crossed the line in a disappointing 13th overall.

Tonio Liuzzi enjoyed a series of battles over the 53 lap race to achieve his second consecutive race finish for Force India. Using a two stop strategy Tonio was able to move up four places on his starting position after battling with the two Renaults, the Williams of Nakajima and Alguersuari's Toro Rosso.

Dr. Vijay Mallya, chairman and team principal of the team said, “We had expected a better result from this race, particularly given Adrian's excellent performance in qualifying fourth yesterday. The penalty cost us dear as Adrian was behind the heavier Rosberg and then dropped back behind Kovalainen early on. Adrian's race was then compromised when he tried to get past the McLaren but he nevertheless demonstrated that the car is performing very well in race conditions and we are able to race competitively with the top teams. Tonio too had a strong race to secure his second finish in three events. His confidence is now high and we should look forward to the next race in Brazil where we hope we can capitalise on the pace we have showed over the weekend. Hopefully next time we can get the results to prove it.”

Sebastian Vettel scored nine points more than Button and maintained his chances to win the championship and is now 16 points behind Button and only 2 behind Rubens Barrichello. Brawn also leads the Constructor's standings with 156 points. Red Bull is 35.5 points behind, still giving the team a chance to win the championship.
