Adrian and the Force India F1 Team are delighted to confirm that Adrian will continue with the Silverstone-based team for a fifth consecutive season in the the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship season.

Twenty-seven year old Adrian, from south Germany, enjoyed his most successful season in F1 last year, securing 47 points to help the team to seventh position in the constructors' championship. En route to his highest-ever drivers' championship classification he notched up nine points scoring positions, including fifth in the Malaysian Grand Prix. He is now hungry to achieve both his, and the team's, ultimate goal of becoming a regular podium challenger.

Paul di Resta will be Adrian's team mate in 2011. Paul's F1 race debut following a strong year of Friday performances as Force India's test and reserve driver last season and his recent DTM title success.

Dr Vijay Mallya, chairman and team principal of Force India F1 Team, "I am genuinely excited by the drivers we will be fielding in 2011. I believe that the combination of talent we've assembled gives us one of the strongest line-ups on the grid: Adrian has matured into one of F1's most consistent and highly-rated young drivers."

Adrian Sutil commented, "I made my F1 debut with the team back in 2007 and we've worked together since then, so to stay for another year here feels very right. I've always said that I feel good in this team, it feels like family and when you feel good, you are confident and can push to your maximum. We've made some good progress together over the past four years and I'm excited to be part of the the team when it takes the next step, which is hopefully to become a front running team. We have the same ambitions so it makes a lot of sense to achieve them together."
