Force India has announced its 2009 driver line-up. Since the Force India-McLaren tie-up, there were rumours of Pedro de la Rosa, the current McLaren test driver, replacing one of the two current drivers.
Force India announced that it will retain Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil as their frontline drivers and Vitantonio Liuzzi will continue as a test driver. This is the second season that Team Force India will have the same line-up but with a different heart, the Mercedes engine.
Fisichella returned to the Silverstone-based team in 2008, after being a part of Team Renault for three years. Fisichella has driven for this team before when it was known as Jordan. Sutil joined the team in 2007, when it was known as Spyker F1.
