	2011 Score points in two of the three, opening flyaway rounds, in relatively low-key start to season, with rookie Di Resta proving more than a match for experienced team mate Sutil.
	2010 Initially maintain momentum of late 2009 and emerge as regular Q3 and points contenders, but fade somewhat by mid season as other midfield rivals such as Williams and BMW Sauber close the performance gap. End year seventh in the constructors' table.
	2009 Dramatic progress, with in-season upgrades boosting VJM02's pace, despite basic lack of downforce. Fisichella makes the breakthrough, with their first pole, points and podium in Belgium, before moving to Ferrari to replace the injured Massa, handing his seat to tester Liuzzi.
	2008 Fail to score, despite impressive improvement in terms of pace. Management restructure announced post-season, with co-owner Vijay Mallya taking over as team principal, and new technical tie-up with McLaren means Mercedes power from 2009.
	2007 Former Spyker team is bought in October by a consortium headed by Indian billionare Dr Vijay Mallya and renamed 'Force India' for the 2008 season.
