Force India gives sneak view of black 2014 car

Force India on Wednesday gave the F1 world a sneak view of its 2014 car.

Although the VJM07 will only be seen in detail next week at Jerez, the side-view digital image did reveal a noticeably low nose, and a striking new livery prominently featuring black for the first time.

New sponsors are also obvious, including the Sergio Perez-linked Claro, the Mexican lubricant brand Roshfrans, and the Kazakhstan capital Astana.

"Adding black as a main colour gives us a fierce new look," said team chief Vijay Mallya.
