Force India VJM07 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.

Yep you may be right. The image below shows a fracture line

In that case this is a pretty good result for FI.
52 laps on super-soft with a broken wing and a prayer :D

The diffuser vanes are aggressively turned outwards... Caterham, Marussia take notes!

Car threads aren't about hypothetical updates. They are about actual parts on the car.

This isn't hypothetical, it's a given. The update (tighter bodywork and different and rearranged cooling set-up) is postponed to the british gp.

If it's not on the car, it's not in this thread, simple as that. It's hypothetical until you actually see the physical item on the car.

2 points

1) Sauber in the background have a similar update to front nose.
2) seems like front wing will be further away from the front axle. won't it reduce the rear downforce even further? (lever mechanics in play)
