Sahara Force India recorded a double points finish at the home British Grand Prix with Sergio Perez finishing a creditable sixth, just ahead of teammate Nico Hulkenberg, at Silverstone on Sunday.

Perez collected eight points and Hulkenberg six as the team took its tally to 73, 19 points behind fourth-placed Williams, who did not get a single point from Sunday's race.

Force India's closest rival Toro Rosso also enjoyed a double points finish with Carlos Sainz and Daniil Kvyat securing eighth and 10th spots respectively.

Sixth-placed Toro Rosso now have 41 points.
