The new Force India is launched today, so here's the thread in anticipation.

The launch begins at 2pm UK time (GMT). Expect the usual amount of waffling before the car being actually revealed.

And a sneak peek of the VJM10 under covers:



Looks suspiciously like a dongnose.

Almost looks like an FW26 walrus-type nose.

I'd forgotten how terrible the shark fins were.

Couldn't fit much more sharkfin in that car. Front wing is insane!

Someone said that they're missing big sponsor opportunity on sharkfin, but maybe they think they'll be banned so aren't bothering yet?!

Least smooth nose so far.

Upping the stakes by eschewing the chode in favour of the full 'Ron Jeremy'.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Terrible livery, terrible shark fin, terrible nose and an incredibly terrible front wing (I can't even count how many winglets are there)! Just hope this thing is fast!

That makes my engineer brains tickle and therefore I like it although it ain't the most aesthatic car so far. Interesting for sure!

The front looks like a combination of 2012 (the nose steps down where the front tyres are) and 2014 (the penis...).

I don't dislike it but don't like it either. Last year's FI was prettier, I guess.

Noooo. Hopefully it's slow so we don't have to see it.

Shit livery, shit chassis.

they could go with HRT strategy and write "YOUR LOGO HERE" in the fin to find new sponsors

Weirdly I like that more than the previous three cars. At least it's tried to be different.
