Sahara Force India clinched a historic fourth position overall, their best ever, in the Formula One Championships this season after Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez finished seventh and eighth respectively at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The team got 10 points from Sunday's race with Hulkenberg and Perez clocking 50.114s and 58.776s as best lap times to grab six and four points respectively. With 173 points to its kitty, Sahara Force India secured the fourth position at the Constructors' Championships, 35 more than closest rival Williams, who secured just two points from the last race of the season with Felipe Massa finishing at the ninth place. Force India, who had finished fifth with 136 points last season, thus got the better of Mclaren and Williams, who have won the World Championship title as many as eight and nine times respectively in the past.
In Drivers' Championships, Perez finished seventh overall with 101 points while team-mate Hulkenberg ended at ninth with 72 points.
