As the rumours suggested yesterday, Adrian Sutil has been confirmed at Barcelona as the final driver for Force India.

Sutil will start his next grand prix at Australia, his first race since Brazil 2011.

Vijay Mallya said:
“The decision over our driver line-up has not been an easy one and we have given it great consideration over the last few months,” said Mallya. “It was a close call, but ultimately we felt that Adrian’s experience and historic links to the team gave him the edge, and will provide us with the best possible chance of realising our ambitions for the coming season.

“If he can rediscover the exceptional form he showed in the second half of 2011, I’m confident that we can pick up where we left off at the end of 2012. As for Jules Bianchi, he has impressed us enormously with his speed and work ethic, and I’m hopeful we can continue working with him this year to help him develop into a future Grand Prix driver.”
