Sahara Force India's Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg set the 13th and 14th fastest time in the qualifying of the Formula 1 season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix here today.
Either of the Force India cars have not made Q3 since the Italian Grand Prix in early September.
Both Perez and Hulkenberg were unable to improve on their times of practice three held earlier in the day.
The Silverstone squad faces a huge task tomorrow of overcoming McLaren for the best ever fifth place finish in the team standings. Sixth-placed Force India, on 127 points, trail McLaren by 34 points.
Mathematically, the Vijay Mallya led outfit is still in the race for fifth spot considering the doubles points on offer in the season finale.
McLaren's Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen will start the race from eighth and 11th on the grid.
