Force India reveals new car VJM11 for 2018 season

Force India today unveiled its new car --VJM11 -- for the 2018 season, hours ahead of first testing.
The car has eye-catching and dynamic livery, incorporating last year's pink, magenta and silver. There is now more white on the nose-cone, engine cover and rear wing and around the cockpit.
Team's development driver Nikita Mazepin will run the car first in Monday's testing while drivers Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon will take turns to test the new car later in the week.
Chief Operating Officer, Otmar Szafnauer, said: We worked very closely with BWT to deliver an even stronger identity for the car this year and everybody is really happy with the result. The new shade of pink is very striking and really pops out.

Technical Director Andrew Green explained: The DNA of the car is still very much that of last years car. We took the decision, quite a while ago, that the launch specification of the 2018 car would be based around our understanding of the 2017 car, but with all new structures required by the regulations in place."
"It is a starting point, a good reference from which to introduce changes quite quickly; it gives our aerodynamics department more time to develop a car for the first race in Australia, rather than having to release parts early for testing.
After two consecutive fourth place championship finishes, the team remains determined to consolidate its position in 2018.

I see no reason why we cannot consolidate our position and improve. Yes, Formula One is a very tough and competitive environment, but we are an established team with continuity in all areas of the company. We dont take anything for granted, but we will be disappointed if we are not fighting for points at every race this year, Team Principal, Vijay Mallya was quoted as saying on Force India website.
