Force India VJM07 Pre-launch Speculation

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I think they've done a good job hiding the d1ck nose by painting it black, at least from side view...

very nice livery!! nice to see some colour changes for the new 'era', I hope RB adopt the black instead of purple as well, would be beautiful! Still scared about the hidden nose :o

I'm surprised there isnt more red involved with the new sponsor.....instead they just get an rear wing endplate :\

EDIT: actually the 'Claro' isnt that well integrated, bit tacky

That Claro logo looks a bit tacked on afterwards. They would have had the black, green and orange livery all sorted, then signed Perez and had to put a red Claro somewhere :mrgreen:

Seems like there is a smooth Transition from the Vanity Panel to the Actual Nose. Not nearly as "dickish" as feared. Could look good.

Side View and Livery are amazing. 8)

I have the feeling that the black to white transition is hiding the depth to the "extension", i.e. they used the joint of the wing supports to transfer to the thin section of the nose, aka B-Type, or "Zipfelnase" in Bavarian

Livery looks great! About the nose, from the side it doesn't look bad, but I reserve my judgement until I see a front photo. Still, great to see the first car of 2014 revealed!

PS: The previous livery was awful, glad they changed.

Looks nice....but will it be clearly visible under the lights (in night races)?

IMO they went from the worst livery to one of the best. :-)

I'm surprised it has an additional cooling intake above/behind the air-box, like an F138... there is no room for a Gbox or an ERS radiator behind the engine, because of the trubo and the exhaust...

You never know...this could feed internal aero parts, feeding to the floor. We won't know clearly until the first test.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Now that is one of the sexiest liveries i have ever seen in all of F1 history. Damn that looks good.
