Is that for real? I mean, Force India with a new livery?

Gotta say that it really looked like a fan-made livery. But it looks nice, glad they went for something different this time!

And the front looks good from this angle.

The livery could be awesome if they dropped the white.
I'm glad they have an ok nose.

It's not the final nose, plus we can't see the front view.

I just hope the livery will look as good on TV

Oh, and apparently driver numbers will be on top of the helmet so that they're visible from the onboard camera.

Is that mandatory? It would kinda wreck Raikkonens helmet design...

I'm not sure, but it wouldn't be great seeing as you can usually identify them by helmet design anyway.

I still think the best solution is a GP2-style number on the rear wing endplate. But, sponsors...

Force India really was the last team I expected to run a predominantly black livery. Awesome though

Definitely cool to see a change, but I would rather see the real thing. Am I the only one to find cg mock ups disappointing. They don't seem to look right to me.
It would be nice to get some other angles too. Let's see the nose!!

Since it's a driver's number I understand it should be somewhere on the helmet, but at least let them decide by themself where to put it.

And indeed it would be a stupid reason to put it on top just so we can recognise which driver it is, since onboard is already the easiest way to determine that.

The air intake behind the helmet looks a bit messy.

I dont think F1 2014 cars will go 313kmh there. They will barely reach 290kmh on the straight

The Force India livery is one I could live with. I always thought their liveries were just bland.

Scarbs is convinced that the Force India has a dildo nose.

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.

My god the Force India colours are ugly. Maybe I have to get used to it, but right now I am not a fan.
