Force India began the 2012 season on the outer reaches of the points with the VJM05. But by the end of the year they were regularly qualifying in the points and even challenged for podium finishes.
Paul di Resta scored a fourth place finish at Singapore and Nico Hulkenberg did the same in Belgium.
But the team’s most promising showing came in the final race at Brazil. Hulkenberg led for 30 laps before slipping back due to a spin. He finished fifth after colliding with Lewis Hamilton.
