Race Incident

Force India team co-owner Vijay Mallya has told Indian media (and relayed by Reuters) a bit about the new Force India VJM02 and he seems to have big hopes for it. In last November Force India signed a five-year deal with McLaren Mercedes and this will benefit the Indian team in the coming season.

“The new car, VJM02, is under construction. It will have a McLaren gearbox and Mercedes engine, which is a big change from VJM01.”

The car, which will be unveiled at Jerez in early March, will also use KERS designed by McLaren Mercedes.

Perhaps Force Indias first Formula 1 point isn’t that far away now…
