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 the new sidepods are due for Montreal.

No major updates for this season. The team brought tiny upgrade to fix the correlation issues in spanish GP. There will be only tiny upgrades for the remaining races this season.

Q: Barcelona is traditionally ‘upgrade weekend’ for all the teams. What is new at Force India?

SP: We don’t have anything sensational on the car - no magic bullet this weekend. But I hope these parts that we are bringing will help us fix the issues that we have, which is trying to get the correlation right between wind tunnel and track. We will not have one or two colossal upgrades during this season - we will bring things that we think will help us perform better at every race.

=D> =D> BWT money is finally paying off massively. I hope the car gains some 0.4-0.5 sec in this circuit. I am hopeful that Red Bull will have to deal with SFI & Williams in Canada GP.

Still the sidepod looks bigger than even Sauber's car, thats not good on this circuit.

But the new T-wing will help in stabilizing the rear & will reduce the drag a bit.

Can someone post a comparison pic of the sidepod evolution from launch spec to the current one?
