Force India was my choice for "most improved" team last year, so I've been eagerly awaiting their 2010 charger.  Would they make radical changes?  Gently evolve?  Leave the car be?
The answer turns out to be "evolve."  Nothing shocking here; the only real changes are those prescribed by the rule book.



Gentle slope to the sidepod, a high, almost straight nose, interesting hole under the air intake (look below the T-camera mount) that I don't think we've seen before.  The dorsal fin is different from that of everybody else, with that big cutout.  Wonder how that'll work... seems like it'd cause some confused air right in front of the rear wing, but I'm hardly an aerodynamics genius.

The thing that makes me go "hmm" and wonder if they're onto something here, though, is right beneath the nose-mounted camera.  Black, looks like an I-beam, directly under the front suspension.  It isn't part of the barge board, nor is it the brake cooling duct.  Obviously it's there to channel airflow, but why?  It doesn't seem like it'd be doing anything in that location, really, other than direct air around the outside of the "snowplow" undertray.  Potentially interesting stuff, particularly if it really does do something worthwhile. 

Seen worse looking cars.
