New Delhi: Confident that they have addressed the reliability issues on Adrian Sutil's car, a buoyant Force India heads for the Bahrain Grand Prix eyeing a double finish there.

The side has shed the back-marker s tag with Giancarlo Fisichella impressing in all practice sessions and finishing 12th in the Malaysian Grand Prix, even though Sutil has not made his mark yet, retiring both in Melbourne and Sepang when gremlins crept into his car.

Team principal Colin Kolles, however, believes the issue has been taken care of and the side can look forward to a double finish in Bahrain on April 6.

"Our aims for this race have to be to get into second qualifying sessions and achieve a double finish," Kolles said.

"This is, I believe, a realistic goal as we have new aero parts for this race that should give another improvement and I am confident we have addressed the reliability issues on Adrian's car," he added.

Chief technical officer Mike Gascoyne also expected a snag-free outing when both the cars hits the race on Sunday.

"We have analysed the reasons for Giancarlo's poor start in Malaysia, which was due to a clutch problem. Hopefully this shouldn't happen again. We are also analysing the reason for Adrian's retirement and are confident we will not have a recurrence of the same problem," Gascoyne said.

Besides, the cars would have several new aerodynamic parts on the front wing and new brake ducts in Bahrain, which should result in a performance increase, he said.

Sutil, meanwhile, oozed confidence of getting third time lucky and finishing the race.
