Force India VJM07 Mercedes

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 heard Mercedes using their gear ratio joker in Singapore. Force India also using the Mercedes gear box and gear ratio , did it means they also changing their gear ratio or stick with the old one?

That's sad that none of the updates that they have tried have worked for them. Hopefully, Singapore updates are going to work.
Updates don't either "work" or "don't work." Generally they are a compromise and a team may gain in certain areas and lose in other areas. Just because they didn't use some of the parts they brought doesn't mean they didn't work. It means that they tried them out and did their calculations and realised that maybe because of weather or road surface or whatever the update didn't work AS PLANNED so simply decided not to run it.

Hell, it might even be a different wing profile that they are testing out for next year.

As per an article in Amus, they have brought a New Front Wing, Floor and Rear Brake Duct to the Singapore Grand Prix. The overall gain is around 0.5s.
