Force India VJM06 launch

[prisonermonkeys]

Continuing tomorrow's theme of multiple car launches, here is the thread for discussing the Force India VJM06, which will be launched around the same time as the Ferrari F138. Although with the team having no comfirmed drivers and the eyes of the media in Maranello for the Ferrari launch, there is the distinct possibility that nobody will unveil the car in front of nobody ...

Launch schedule:

Lotus E21 - January 28th (launch thread)
McLaren MP4-28 - January 31st (launch thread)
Ferrari F138 - February 1st (launch thread)
Force India VJM06 - February 1st
Sauber C32 - February 2nd
Red Bull RB9 - February 3rd
Mercedes AMG F1 W04 - February 4th
Toro Rosso STR8 - February 4th
Caterham CT03 - February 5th
Williams FW35 - February 19th
Marussia MR02 - TBA

Now, I don't hold a monopoly on these threads, but I do seem to be the one creating all of them (much like last year). But I'm going to be away this weekend, so someone else is probably going to have to create threads for the Sauber, Red Bull, Mercedes and Toro Rosso launches.

Well it's impossible to view their stream because it's getting DDOS'd from people having to SIGN UP just to see it. Wow, some people are just loopy with these plans.

Here it is.

Looks nice. But, like most, looks a lot like last years car.
Hope they can get something out of it. Podiums?

 

[Furinkazen]

How about two drivers first...

Does it? The nose is completely different?

So far, this is the one I like the looks of the most (except the livery). It looks more like a 2000s car.

I quite like it too. The whole front end is a much cleaner shape than the Ferrari imo

The VJM06 is the first 2013 to run on track:

Cars, Sponsors, Tyres- but with who will we race?

 

[Brend]

Heard that it is Bruno Senna myself.

 

[Seismica]

It doesn't look like that much of a change to me, aside from a modesty panel on the nose. I personally think that money troubles have caught up with them.

Yes they say this: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/105362

It looks the same to me.

Total redesign? They're not fooling no one!

 

[United6694]

Anyone noticed how small the sidepods are?

 

[magpie1997]

Another flat nose rather than the stepped nose that majority of teams used last year so maybe the flat nose is the trend this year

 

[Silver-Sylph]

The front nose reminds me of the old Benetton's.

So they're fooling everyone?

Exactly!
