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.

Trackside impressions by Gary Anderson, from the latest edition of Autosport:
Gary Anderson wrote:It’s a similar story to Lotus here. It was possible to place the car where the driver wanted to in the corners without the understeer that some have. If you were to pick out the two most consistent cars, you would say it was the Lotus and the Force India.

King Six@ yes it's has new additional vortex generators. They've tested 3 versions of FW so far in 2013.
They're testing it today with PSP paint.

They are continuously switching the FW, are they having problems to get the McLaren style (pre-brazil 2012) [s]turning vanes[/s] vortex generators working?
