Sahara Force India have become the first team to unveil their new 2014 contender as the team released an image of its VJM07 this morning, ahead of any other team.
"Our nose is a launch spec and later we will have an updated front end of the car, which potentially is quite different," said Green.
"We had to take quite a pragmatic view of it and say we've got to go testing so we've got to get a car out of the door.
"As much as we want to push the boundaries of the impact structure, because we know how important they are for the whole car, we don't have the resources to push it to the limit in our first iteration, so we need a banker.
"The nose that is on the launch car is a banker. We've got ourselves a car that we can go testing and racing with. Several weeks ago we started pushing the design boundaries because we think there's performance in it.
"There are new concepts coming through."

What occurs to me is that, whilst FI have taken this approach, the dramas at McLaren w/ crash tests were probably a result of them already pushing boundaries in terms of nose design.Holm86 wrote:I wonder if the noses will be this years development race.f1316 wrote:http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112222

If it isn't, then it is a great advantage to have. Driver in front won't know someone is overtaking him. =D>vas_04614 wrote:Looks nice....but will it be clearly visible under the lights (in night races)?
