Force India's cars will line up on the grid for the 200th time in Austria today, a milestone achievement for the Silverstone-based squad.
It all started in Melbourne in 2008, with a pair of VJM01 chargers all decked out in white, gold and red, and steered by Adrian Sutil and Giancarlo Fisichella.
Rooted in the foundations of Jordan Grand Prix, which later became Midland F1 in 2005 and then Spyker a year after, Force India went from backmarker in 2008 to top mid-field contender in 2016, picking up its maiden points at Spa in 2009.
A consistent and solid runner, Vijay Mallya's squad has always made the most of its relatively modest resources, and has often been hailed as Formula 1's most cost-effective outfit for its sponsors.
The team is currently facing uncertainty, with co-owner Mallya's personal trials and tribulations, and rumors of a sale. In the interim, Force India is alive and well, and a force to be reckoned with for its mid-field rivals.
