Force India Unveil 2017 challenger, and it's one ugly duckling

Well here it is the VJM10. Featuring it's bland colour palette, tin foil style shark fin and a skate park for a front nose. HOPEFULLY all of these changes have happened for a very good reason... i cant think of any that can justify for the colour and the fin, however Force india have got a pretty darn good one for the skate park, damn i mean nose.

Force India claim that the nose has been 'stepped' due to exploring the full potential of rules. In an interview with Andy Green(technical director), he says "We have tried to exploit an area of the front suspension regulations that improved the characteristics of it from a mechanical perspective," said Green."It does mean that because of the way the regulations are worded, we cannot merge it into the nose as we would like."

Well i guess we will have to wait and see with that one Andy..

On a less serious note, what were the designers thinking?? Did they sit down with marketing and go 'so guys it's 2017, what would you like us to do to make sure the sponsors are well displayed on the car?' marketing respond with something like 'well you know that shark fin thing you've added, don't use that. and make sure that the car is as bland as we can make it. This way loads of memes will be made about the car and we get amazing coverage on the car whilst it doesn't cost us a penny!'
