Sochi: Putting up a terrific show, both Sahara Force India drivers managed top-10 places on the grid for today's Russian Grand Prix as Nico Hulkenberg qualfied sixth, just ahead of teammate Sergio Perez. Both the drivers sounded confident but had a common worry about the tyre performance during the race.

"Even though we've had limited running here in practice, I've had a good feeling with the car. There is a nice balance and it's giving me confidence. The result today is probably the maximum we could achieve when you look at the cars ahead of us," the German racer said.
