as i said in 2008 and I quot -

“I cant believe u guys like the car’s paint job, don’t u guys think think the tricolour would have been better”

Force India listened to my precious comment and this year(2009) they have designed a tricolour livery

Ah I see thanks for that – there weren’t any pictures of the car in Australia when I checked their site before. (There’s no need to shout though!)

i think it will be tough for forceindiaf1 in the formula 1 circuit. But Mallya has done a gr8 job & put india in the most exciting motorsport. Cheers to him!!!.

What mallya doing is right! if he goes with narain or other indian drivers there wont be a team called force india in 2009 season…….mannn think about the future of the team. i say Ralf and fisichella would do good.

hey guys forget about the colour…..mallya is gonna run the car without an indian driver in it….i bet narain is a far better race driver than all these rickshaw drivers that are testing the car now in jerez….narain is a little bull headed guy but i thought mallya with all his age and experience could mentor him and make him a winner for our country.

Depends how they would have gone about colouring the car. While I like green and orange (white’s not too bad, but it’s a little over-used on the grid), the wrong method of combining the colours can totally ruin the paint job. These things can only really be judged when the car has been given its paint job. What I can say is that this paint job is that the white and burgundy have been combined tastefully.

The other thing to note is that Force India is 50% owned by Michel Mol and his companies. He’s Dutch, so there is probably a limit as to how patriotic the team can be without causing a problem at board level.

Looks like the new official site all right. I don’t know how fast the Force Indias will be on the track next year, but at least the website is good.

just a fun thing; since yesterday the website http://forceindiaf1.com/ has changed, see post from yesterday. no the message is errror. a search on whois gives kingfisher airlines as owner. so things might be happening..

All that is fine, but are these guys going to have a ‘Force India’ team without an Indian driver? There is total silence at the moment on that. Mallya’s plans for marketing F1 in India might fall flat without it.

The interim Honda cars used to be plain black – not exactly an awesomely attractive colour. Interim colours can give little or no clue at all to the actual livery.

“Does being colour blind make following races difficult Loki?”

I wouldn’t say it’s difficult. The only problem, if I can even call it that, came with Midland/Spyker oranges being mistaken for a Ferrari. However, I know other non colourblind people who say it happens to them so maybe it just doesn’t help in such a situation.

Usually I’d mistake them visually, but get corrected by the computer updates, or commentary. If they were around a bit longer I reckon I would’ve adapted to some other recognition with the Spykers.
