Sahara Force India unveiled their new F1 car, the VJM05 at Silverstone. This car is the second one which has been built under the leadership of technical director Andrew Green and will be the team’s weapon in the upcoming Formula 1 championship.
This car, like Ferrari's F2012, has also fallen victim to FIA’s new regulations which restrict the height of the nose thus making it look ugly. While Force India finished sixth in the constructors’ championship last year, they hope this new car will boost their chances of finishing in the top five this season. The car will be powered by Mercedes engines and gearboxes will be supplied by McLaren Applied Technologies.
Team Force India’s principal and managing director Dr.Vijay Mallya said, “We will need to begin the new campaign by delivering the kind of form we showed in the second half of 2011. I believe this is a realistic goal and that we have the talent and determination to realise these ambitions.”
