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.

Pretty but not going to stand out...

Last years Force India looked amazing (at least, before they took the orange off the sidepods)

By the picture from above i see that sidepods are bigger than on 2014 car. Or is it because of camera angle

Just camera angle, the chassis is actually the 2014 one

Hopefully it won't get banned like FRIC get banned during the season.


Andy Green also said that they will introduce a big upgrade for the race in Spain. But any F1 teams releases an big update in Spain so not surprise their.
AMUS says it reduces the time for set-up changes on the rear (they will use hydraulic anti-roll bar and springs...)
from 45 minutes to 5min
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

so they added green to the livery all of a sudden. :wtf:

not that i'm complaining, but it's odd seeing a livery reveal, then confirmation in mexico, and now suddenly they've added green to the lower part of the sidepod.....weird.
