FORCE INDIA GOES FOR EVERMORE SOPHISTICATED COMPONENTS

In Melbourne, Force India introduced a significant aerodynamic evolution, which will be completed by a new front wing in Bahrain.

The VJM11 has been remodeled at the level of the sidepod vanes. Previously split, the vane now consists of a single piece, to which two panels have been added (marked in yellow above). The set, which resembles Mercedes’ configuration, seeks to isolate the air flowing along the sidepods from the dirty wake produced by the rotation of the front wheels.
