Nico Hulkenberg keen to unleash upgraded Force India at Silverstone

Nico Hulkenberg will look to build on impressive Force India displays in Canada and Austria at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday.

The German has finished in the points in the past two races to climb into the top 10 in the drivers' standings, while he also claimed victory at Le Mans with Porsche.

Hulkenberg followed his Le Mans triumph with a sixth-place finish in Austria - Force India's best finish of the season - and has his eyes on further progress as his team arrive at Silverstone with plenty of upgrades.

"I'm really looking forward to Silverstone - the team's home race," he told F1's official website.

"We go there with a lot of momentum following the strong performance in Austria where we really maximised everything.

"The circuit suited us, of course, but the field was really close and it was up to us to get a good result, which we did.

"Finishing sixth was probably the maximum we could get from the race and to come away with a good bunch of points was very satisfying.

"I am really looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the upgraded VJM08 at Silverstone, which will give us the first impression of what we can expect in the second half of the season."
