What"s going to grab your attention first of all is the fact that Force India"s new livery is quite pink. It"s something to do with an Austrian water technology" company, which we assume has something to do with taps. In any case, its reminiscent of the old Porsche Pink Pig", no?Anyway, like last year, Force India"s using the Mercedes-AMG engine, continuing a practice started with the 2.4-litre V8 in the VJM02 (the VJM01 still had a Ferrari V8, a layover from the short-lived Spyker F1 team).New recruit Esteban Ocon takes over from Nico Hulkenberg, who moved to Renault, while Sergio Perez retains the spot he"s held since 2014. Ocon, you might remember, drove for the now-defunct Manor last year and is part of Mercedes" driver development programme, so you might be hearing his name more in the future. As with the other cars on the 2017 grid, the VJM10 adopts a large shark fin over the engine cowling, as well as a proboscis that"s now a familiar, if mostly unloved, feature in modern F1.
