Force India driver Adrian Sutil is looking forward to his third season in the pinnacle of Motorsport and fully believes that the Indian team’s new technical collaboration with Mercedes and McLaren will help boost them further up the 2009 Formula One grid.

"I think it will be a great help and a big step," the German racer told the team's official website. "Maybe we can really go into the top 10 and finish a few races in the points. That would be a good step. I'm confident."

Adrian believes that he is a much stronger racer now and after adapting to the loss of traction control in 1008 and racing alongside teammate Giancarlo Fisichella, who is very experienced in the sport, the coming season should see and even stronger result.

"I'm more experienced now, and I had a very good teammate in Giancarlo, and I could learn quite a lot from him, with all the data. This was good, and also mentally I'm much better now. After two years of F1 you feel better, your self confidence is higher."
