Sahara Force India unveils the VJM06 at Silverstone
Sahara Force India unveiled its 2013 challenger on Friday as Paul Di Resta pulled the covers off the VJM06 at Silverstone circuit.
The VJM06 is the third car to be overseen by Technical Director, Andrew Green, and builds on the strengths of the 2012 car. With stable technical rules the car is more evolution than revolution with the removal of the 'step' nose being the most obvious visual change.
"The VJM06 doesn't look massively different to its predecessor, but beneath the skin we've looked at every detail to try and find more performance," says Team Principal, Dr Vijay Mallya. "I've followed the development of the car closely and I'm proud of what we have achieved. The objective now is to make sure we build on the promise of last year and have a strong start to the season."
Summing up the approach to the design of the VJM06, Andrew Green said: "It's a brand new car from the ground-up – everything is new. We discussed carrying over big chunks of last year's car, including the chassis, but decided not to. There were still some gains to be had with the chassis, so we elected to take the performance benefits. The biggest change that everybody is going to notice this year is the fairing on top of the nose to hide the 'step'. It's neutral as far as the car's performance is concerned but tidies up the flow over the top of the chassis."
Chief Operating Officer, Otmar Szafnauer, praised the team's efforts over the winter to develop the VJM06: "We're very optimistic. We've been working hard over the winter, trying to make improvements where we know we can find performance. Everything has come together very nicely. We've also focussed on operational strength by bolstering our simulator programme and increasing our CFD capacity with new hardware."
Paul Di Resta, half of the team's 2013 line-up, was delighted to see his new car: "Seeing the car built and complete for the first time is a special feeling. I've followed its progress in the tunnel and it looks very impressive - aggressive and fast. Now I'm just eager to get out there and see where we stand compared to our competitors. After the winter I feel refreshed and keen to get back to business."
The Sahara Force India cars will be powered by Mercedes engines with the gearbox supplied by McLaren Applied Technologies for a fifth season. This will be the third season with the Mercedes KERS.

要組裝一輛MP4-25賽車可不容易,現場兩個年薪最高的一下忘記順序、一下找不到零件,還有看不懂東西裝哪的情況百出,當然這都是廣告效果,因為 Lewis Hamilton必須拿出手機贊助商的產品來打電話求救,而廣告的標語在這時候也出現〝Jenson and Lewis depend on their team, their team depends on our network.〞(Jenson與Lewis依賴他們的團隊,而他們的團隊依賴我們的通訊網絡。)
Lewis Hamilton曾表示過MP4-25可能是他駕駛過的最好開的賽車,他非常享受駕駛MP4-25的過程;像MP4-25這樣穩定的賽車,感覺賽車不僅能夠找到完美的平衡,並將其推至極限。不管是滿載油還有油箱見底都是反應都非常好;有興趣觀賞此影片的請上https://www.youtube.com /watch?v=4zf40OzfwOo&feature=player_embedded。
