Force India unveiled its first car, the VJM01 at ceremony in Mumbai. It was the first car produced by the team under Vijay Mallya’s ownership but didn’t live up to the Indian billionaire’s expectations as it failed to score a single point all season. It came closest in the hands of Adrian Sutil at the Monaco Grand Prix but Kimi Raikkonen’s out-of-control Ferrari rear-ended him while he was running in fourth.
