Force India need another £200 million each season to be able to compete with the top teams according to deputy team principal Bob Fernley.
Force India have made steady progress since the 2014 season and are now consistent point scorers. They are looking to take fourth place in the constructers championship this year but Fernley admits that reaching the top three would be a very tall order without major financial support.
“I think that the goal is probably best of the rest if the truth be known," Fernley said. "In reality, another £200million to get the next step.
"But saying that, next year is going to be an exciting year because for the first time we’re all designing cars … I wouldn’t say we’re on a level playing field but certainly more level than it has ever been in terms of the aero availability you have.
"So we're all limited. Obviously the bigger teams have much more efficient processes so they have an advantage but the advantage is much less than it has ever been. So it is going to be interesting and I think it is going to produce some interesting opportunities next year.”
