The livery isn't bad, but as most people seem to be saying it's not overly distinctive. Just out of curiosity though, why is their rain/pit-light green??

It has burgundy with gold trim! These are old peoples colours - it's like seeing a geriatric on wheels.
This livery is a big failure and has to go. The final livery could go a number of ways really. Indian flag colours? Indian national colour? A wacky new green reflecting a crazy blue chip sponsor? I sincerely hope it isn't red or white. |

It would have been possible to do it without the split livery though. It just had Pollock written all over it!

I think I'm one of the few people that actually likes the 99 BAR just for its uniqueness

I never personally liked the livery much, but appreciated the manner in which they made something of a gesture to the regulations that stated the cars had to have identical liveries. However I would even go as far as to say it doesn't look too shocking in that picture above with Vileneuve's helmet design, "so nur"
Ellmau, I've seen someone mention on here before that the car in the other photo (Wolf?) looked good in a childish toy car way. I think I know what they meant. I think I actually had a toy car with a colour scheme like that when I was a kid. |

I love the fact that the Force India site has a section called 'Take Aways'

Bit of a garish and unpleasant site though. I'm left a bit naan-plussed.

Lewis Hamilton Kimi Raikkonen Fernando Alonso EDIT: Just noticed on their "Facts" page that, according to them, Button remains the youngest-ever points scorer. Also Ricardo Patrese holds the record for the most starts with 256, with MICHAEL SCHUMACHER?! 2nd with 212?!?!?! Last edited by Chatters; 1 Jan 2008 at 03:22. |

I wonder if it's also a "fact" that the 'team' have already scored victories on several occasions!
