Force India VJM08 Speculation Thread

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.

So the nose does looks to be legal. My apologies for my previous comment. The nose itself looks atleast a bit nicer then the williams one.

There's something at the back that looks suspiciously like a lower beam wing, has it been un-banned? Need some more pictures I think.

I think the nose is the only 2015 thing on the car.

Stunning livery. This is how it should be done.

It's interesting that they went mercedes-chrome silver, just when mclaren switches to Honda. Would it be probable that mclaren patented the silver chrome for the duration of its cooperation with mercedes?

I really like the livery. The nose looks great too with its well-done paint job.

Wow, one of the most beautiful liveries I have seen in recent years.

Also interesting how the barge board/turning vanes attached directly to the sidepod, just under the air inlet.

That looks like a beam wing to me.

Seem's this is the 2014 car with a 2015 nose, so even though say a release of the 2015 car, look's like well see a new version when it's ready.
