Force India finished strongly at the European GP with Adrian Sutil coming 10th and Giancarlo Fisichella finishing 12th.

Starting 12th on the grid, Sutil moved upto the fifth place before his first pit stop and drove an excellent race subsequently to cling onto his place.

Fisichella, who had started 16th on the grid, had a wheel-to-wheel race with Red Bull's Mark Webber for a while and the Italian did well to finish ahead of both the Toyota cars.

Brawn GP driver Rubens Barrichello registered his first victory since 2004 to put himself back in the title hunt.

The Brazilian finished 2.3s clear of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, with Kimi Raikkonen third for Ferrari.
