Force India to be unveiled on Monday

NEWS STORY

Force India has confirmed that its 2016 contender will be unveiled hours ahead of the opening test.

Force India has confirmed that its 2016 contender, the VJM09, will be unveiled in the pitlane at the Circuit de Catalunya next Monday, just ahead of the opening test.

Whilst Sahara seeks to sell its 42.5% in the team, in an effort to have (Sahara) founder Subrata Roy released from jail, the Silverstone-based outfit, which enjoyed its most successful season last year, will be looking to take another step forward.

Though talk of a partnership with Aston Martin proved wide of the mark, much is expected from the team which has retained both Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg.

In a reversal of its usual form, Force India had a poor start to the season last year, but things greatly improved with the introduction of the B-spec car in the second half of the season.

The lavish launches of Benetton, in particular, a distant memory, though most teams need to watch the pennies, is a pitlane roll-out moments ahead of testing - on a day when other teams are following suit - the best way to excite the fans, far less sponsors. Surely the sport is missing a trick here.
