BigRubberFist Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Not bad! Can't tell if there's a step on the nose, but it looks decent. Flashy livery means it will be unlikely to be misidentified with anything else on the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashy livery means it will be unlikely to be misidentified with anything else on the grid. I was just going to ask if the wheel was blocking a step or is the nose tapered, Just need to wait until tomorrow to see the McLaren!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted on the 2013 thread he was going to Caterham The Force India livery looks cracking. Funny how they've hidden the nose though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRubberFist Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Funny how they've hidden the nose though... Now I look at it again, there does seem to be a small bodywork crease near the Astana(?) logo. Got a feeling that might indicate that the head-on view isn't quite so pretty.

Mr. Brightside Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Post 7, I told you the Kobmeister was coming I'm the James Allen of P&B And we have our first look at a new 2014 car - http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2014/01/22/force-india-reveal-first-picture-vjm07/forc-vjm07-twitter/ From the side that doesnt look as bad as I was fearing. That's not something you want to be. Anyway, the Force India looks smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That Force India looks nice from the side on, obviously need to see it head on to see what the nose is going to look like. Also waiting to see the Lotus who apparently are bring the Martini livery back.....retro schemes always looks nice. Although I'm a Kobayashi fan, I would have preferred him to stay in GT racing either in the GT class with Ferrari or move up to one of the privateer LMP1 cars. The Caterham is just not going to be good enough for him, he deserves better. Hopefully he's still on Ferrari's books/plans if (or if the rumours are to believed, when) they launch the LMP1 program for 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1888bhoy67 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 First look at the FW36, the nose is horrendous, and the back wing just looks out of place being so narrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1888bhoy67 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Eric Boullier has left Lotus to go to Macleran and Gerard Lopez takes over at Lotus Was just going to post this, Reports in the British press suggest McLaren could name Sam Michael as their new team boss at Friday's launch. With Ron Dennis taking the reigns at McLaren earlier this month, sweeping changes are expected at the Formula One team. One of those changes could be the exit of Martin Whitmarsh. The current team boss is under fire after a dismal 2013 season for McLaren in which the team failed to secure a single podium finish. And, according to Telegraph Sport could be on his way out. In a press release earlier this week announcing Stoffel Vandoorne as the team's official reserve driver, instead of putting in quotes from Whitmarsh, McLaren quoted Michael. This, the newspaper speculates, could be a "small indication" that Whitmarsh is on his way out and Michael is set for promotion. But, i'd also read that Boullier had been installed as principal at McLaren, has it been confirmed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1888bhoy67 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Also, double points for the last race confirmed The double points rule for the season finale will go ahead after the team bosses failed to object in a meeting.The team bosses met with Bernie Ecclestone earlier this week but, according to the BBC"no attempt was made to overturn it." Although several teams and drivers voiced opinions prior to Wednesday's meeting in Geneva, when push came to shove nothing was said. Andrew Benson reports that "none of the teams chose to make a major issue of the plan at the meeting, probably because they felt it was not worth falling out with Ecclestone over." As such, double points will be awarded for the first time in this year's season finale in Abu Dhabi. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/9130610/Double-points-here-to-stay joke of a decision, absolute joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
