Force India team principal and co-owner Vijay Mallya says his outfit now has the freedom to take more risks in the final two races of the season after securing fourth place in the championship.
The Silverstone-based outfit sits 99 points ahead of fifth-placed Williams, meaning they cannot be caught, and have therefore matched their best ever Constructors' finish.
Mallya praised the team for their best ever season and said they would now look at experimenting in Brazil and Abu Dhabi to end the season on a "high note".
"To have confirmed fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship for the second consecutive year is a wonderful achievement," said Mallya.
"I’m incredibly proud of the entire team and delighted we have done so with two races in hand. It’s already been our strongest season yet in terms of points scored and we are just 25 shy of the 200 points mark. It shows how consistent we have been all year.
"With fourth place secure, we have the freedom to take a new approach into the remaining races – perhaps by trying some different things or different Friday drivers in the car to see what we can learn for next year. We can also be more aggressive with strategies and take more risks.
"We’re still hungry for strong results and want to end the season on a high note. The race in Brazil this week is an opportunity to continue our run of strong performances at the very least."
