Force India VJM10 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.

With the new stepped nose and new suspension, I think FI is looking to preserve the tyres. So once again looks like they are going for a more efficient car which will go longer on tyres. =D> =D>

Any idea why Sergio did so few laps? Thought they could have gotten more laps in, and also the T-wing, I think SFi will need it to 'T'rim off some more time, the Williams is sporting an eleventh hour design and seems to be paying off, top 3 fastest times have this aero

I have just had to remove a number of posts about the Williams, Merc and T-Wing etc as these had no relevance to the VJM10.
I would remind you that posts are to be about technical aspects of the VJM10, and when posts stray off the subject, they are going to be removed.

Looks more like they sawed off a part to me (esp. looking at the two wastegate pipes), but regardless, they clearly haven't solved their exhaust problems yet; I think that in testing they are allowed to do this stuff, trying to fix it, but by the races, it needs to be by the book.

The huge Shark Fin aka advertisement board, is still not replaced with any meaningful option. #-o

So I think the team is going with the same package in Australian GP.

I must say the rear packing on this car looks very neat and tidy.
