Ferrari
Ferrari is one of the most evocative names ever to grace the Formula One World Championship, with a rich history dating back 1929 and a string of successes under its belt, including a record 15 drivers’ championships (including the 2007 crown) and 15 constructors’. Its records are staggering: 201 Grand Prix victories, almost 5,000 points, 603 podium finishes, 195 pole positions, 12,489 laps led, and 205 fastest laps in 758 Grands Prix contested.
It was this illustrious history and the outfit’s continued success that led Force India’s predecessors Spyker to sign a three-year deal from 2007 for Ferrari to provide the team with V8 Formula One engines. With awesome power, drive and reliability, the engine is amongst the best of the field. A team of six engine engineers travel to all races and tests to support the team on events; it’s a dynamic partnership that works well within the tough F1 environment.
Bridgestone
From the 2007 season, Bridgestone became the sole supplier of tyres for the FIA Formula One World Championship.
The company was created in Japan by Shojiro Ishibashi in the early 1900s and entered Formula 1 in 1997 at the Australian Grand Prix. Force India’s predecessors Spyker and Midland have used Bridgestone tyres since 1999, making for one of the most durable partnerships in the paddock.
