With Nico Hulkenberg's sixth-place finish, Force India secured fifth spot, their best-ever result in the Formula One constructors' standings, at November's Brazilian Grand Prix.

But any celebrations, at least those of the public variety, were kept to a minimum at Interlagos.

Rather than gathering the entire team, from the drivers to the cleaners, at the front of the garage for one of those victory photocalls complete with a "P5" pit board and countless bottles of champagne—as a lesser team may have done—Force India seemed to be content with backslaps and 140-character Twitter tributes.



For them, this was not the culmination of seven years of blood, sweat and tears, but the first step toward bigger and better things. 

And while Bob Fernley was, of course, overjoyed with his side's achievement, it didn't take long for the deputy team principal—like all great leaders in sport—to absorb that success and turn his attention toward the near future, the latest challenge, the next step.

In true industrial, Force India-esque fashion, Fernley explained that after breaking into the top five, his team must target the Big Four in 2016, telling Motorsport.com's Adam Cooper:

It does show that there has been a genuine step-up. Our powertrain is probably the best in the business, so I don't think there are any issues there.

And I think chassis-wise we are a genuinely top four or five car. To take the next move into the top four requires another step, but we've got the assets to do it today.

What we have to look at is setting our sights on competing with Williams, because they are a similarly-funded team with similar assets, albeit a bit more in-depth because of the amount of investment they've put in over the years.

Clearly we want to close down on them. I think we've been chipping away at them over the second half of the sea...
