Those are the only two pic's that SPEED had sorry they did not meet your criteria.

Don't take in personally. I'm just pointing out that Force India could have put in a little more effort in showing their commitment to their sponsors and Formula One for a modest sum of money.

Nothing taken personaly bro but some of the argument's/opinon's you have are simply ludicrious and just plain 'nit picking'! Honestly some of the nonsense that is spoken, without having ANY CLUE as to the real situation is just utter crap.

I find it tricky to believe that Force India don't have a spare $15000, tops, to spend on a decent car launch. Recently, Mallya promised 120 million for the team.

You must understand though, and I know you do, is that F1 is now more of a business than a sport, yah I know I'm not happy either, and they have a strict budget to adhere to. Look at it like this ok would you rather spend that extra $10M on some fancy smancy unveiling or put it into the car's developement?

Sorry for being so harsh previously bro, you know I luv you :wink::lol: .

Fisi will beat Sutil because he is actually capable of keeping the car on the circuit :)

Sutil is a good prospect but I have never seen a rookie crash the car so much!

Australia, Bahrain, Canada, China, at least, and they are just the ones I remember!

Fisi's experience will help Sutil but the veteran will still triumph

I thought the car looked real nice visually. The colours are nice and the commercials doesn't take over too much. But there's another thing how good it's on the racetrack...

How much time do you loose with that old-fashioned frontwing? =) :?:

Did you not see Massa when he first came into Formula One? Sauber always had a freight plane on standby, ready to deliver front wings for Massa's car, for the likelihood of the team running out throughout the course of the weekend was reasonably high.

Even Massa wasn't that bad for crashing lol.

Sutil is very quick but in a small team he needs to concentrate on finishing races.

I think he will do well in 2008 and maybe score a point or two, with Fisi to do slightly better due to his consistency.

The TC ban will help Giancarlo because he was one of the best in F1 before TC came in.

Some nice Indian economy there. The bins and tractor in the background look really cool. :lol:

Sorry for double posting, not really allowed, I know, but I forgot to mention the equally classy-looking notebook sitting on the nose of the car. :roll:


It has a UPS as well incase of a power failure.

However for a first car I think it would be better to release a car like this than IIRC BAR did with all the glitz and razmataz saying that they would win the championship that year only to get it onto the track and find that a hillman avenger was faster over a lap

I basically agree with McL fan in that this is does seem to have been a poor launch. True, the team does not have McLaren money but its launch photos should not contain bins , tractors and notebooks. Very shabby, and would have cost very little to prevent. ( I'll bet that if anyone ever even considered putting a notebook on a McLaren or Ferrari they would be hung from the roof by the testicles). I also think that the drivers should have been there. F1 is the pinnacle of motor sport and this drive for perfection is an attitude of mind. Force India does not seem to have this attitude of mind. Perfection has to be about all aspects of what the team does, including a new car launch. This launch could have been a whole lot more professional with a different attitude - its not about money. I really wonder now if the team has the right attitude to run F1 cars.
I think that Ron Dennis once said, many years ago, that an organisation cannot be a top class professional operation in one department and sloppy amateurs in another. If one part is sloppy then no department will be on top. That's not word for word, but the gist, and I agree.

I was at the Autosport show yesterday and saw the car as I came in. Quite a nice livery too, something different. :)

The Ferrari on display wasn't last year's Ferrari, it was a 2003 Ferrari with the 2007 livery on it... I saw Blundell talking and also McNish was at the centre stage near the Prodrive stand and he was also at the Live Action arena. Louise Goodman was one of the presenters at the Live Action Arena and was wearing a rather dodgy looking cow skin patterned skirt... wonder if Coulthard or Button had any input about that item of clothing?
