Force India VJM04 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.

Probably some kind of "remove before flight" ribbon tied to a plug for the exhaust exit, so that no --- goes in there while they work on the cars.

Yep, and the wing supports are new too, now are curved like the Williams ones. Quite a big change.

No, that is where Whyte & MacKay normally has their branding but they don't run it in Turkey as it's a country where alcohol is not promoted.

They won't have lost the sponsorship from them as they're both owned by the same person!!

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Interesting that they seem to use titanium instead of carbon for the wing/pillar attachments.
