The first-ever Indian Formula One team, Force India's lead driver Adrian Sutil says racing in India would be as special as it is driving in his motherland, Germany. India's first-ever Formula One Grand Prix will see Sutil racing for the Indian team. Talking to a German news agency today, he said, it will be a proud moment to arrive at the track and race for the only Indian team in the very first Indian Grand Prix. AIR correspondent reports, Sutil said, finishing sixth is their priority and everyone in the team is working hard to achieve this. Sutil and his British teammate Paul di Resta have done well in the second half of the season but the German shot down suggestions that they will be under pressure to deliver at India's home race. Last season, Force India were pipped by Williams by just one point for the sixth place and Sutil said this year the Silverstone-based team is determined to take sixth position in the constructors' championship. Force India have 49 points so far but Sauber and Toro Rosso are far behind. And probably Sutil knows that both the teams are capable of turning the tables on them. In the 2010 season, Sutil had nine top-10 finishes, including two top-5 and stood 11th in the drivers' standing with 47 points. But this season sixth place is Sutil's best result and in all he has 28 points, though he is standing 11th in the list with three races to go.
