Nico Hulkenberg has set his sights on finally reaching the podium in 2016.
Although one of the most highly-rated midfield drivers in Formula 1, the 28-year-old has never finished one of his almost 100 grands prix in the top three.
"It must be a podium," he told German broadcaster RTL when asked what his target is for 2016 as he lines up yet again for Force India.
"I think it has lasted long enough now to be here in Formula 1 without a podium."
When asked why he has failed to add a podium to his resume after five seasons in F1, he answered: "So far it has just not worked out.
"There were one or two races in which it was realistically possible, but unfortunate circumstances just came together or things went wrong.
"But that's the way it was, it's history and it's behind me. Now the focus is on 2016 and having my most successful year in Formula 1."
Fifth overall in 2015, Force India has again looked promising in winter testing and is aiming to lead the midfield this year.
