Force India confirm launch date for 2017 car

Force India are set to unveil their new Formula One challenger on February 22, a day ahead of world champions Mercedes, and two before Ferrari.

The team will launch their 2017 season at Silverstone, having enjoyed their best campaign to date last year, finishing fourth in the constructors’ standings with their Mercedes-powered VJM09 car.

This year Force India will field a new driver line-up, with Sergio Perez partnered by new team mate Esteban Ocon, who joins from Manor to replace Nico Hulkenberg, now at Renault.
