Force India expected a better result from the Canadian Grand Prix for both cars. According to the teams' chief operating officer Otmar Szafnauer, the two points for Esteban Ocon and pointless finish for Sergio Perez was a "disappointment".

“To come away with just two points is a bit disappointing considering the speed we’ve shown across the weekend,” said Szafnauer.

“Esteban drove well and we just unfortunately had a slow pit stop with a delay fitting the rear jack, which ultimately ended our chance of beating the Renaults.

“Sergio was racing very well until Sainz hit him, forcing him off the road, and dropped him outside the points. He had made the overtake so it was extremely disappointing to lose four or five places as a result. It effectively ended his afternoon.

“So a mixed result today, but we take encouragement from the speed we have shown in both qualifying and the race, and it’s good to keep picking up important points.”
