Monaco Saturday quotes: Force India

Paul di Resta - 15th: "I felt pretty happy with the balance of the car during FP2 on Thursday, but unfortunately it didn't carry over for qualifying. We haven't changed much on the car, but I was struggling with the rear and with traction. So I'm not as far up the grid as I would like to be and it leaves us with a hard task tomorrow, especially because it's so difficult to overtake here. But we also know that Monaco can be an unpredictable race and I hope the strategy can help us fight back tomorrow."

Dr Vijay Mallya, Team Principal & Managing Director: "It's well known that the qualifying hour in Monaco is the most important of the season, so we worked hard to make sure we had optimised the set-up for qualifying. Nico did an excellent job and only missed out on making Q3 by a tenth of a second. In fact, he was only half a second off the quickest time in Q2, which shows once again how closely-matched all the teams are. Paul didn't feel totally comfortable with his car, but I'm confident he can bounce back and have a strong race starting from P14. I always enjoy the Monaco Grand Prix and we've seen in the past that anything can happen here, so we will be targeting points finishes with both cars."
