Force India F1 car could reportedly turn pink
The 2017 Force India VJM10 could be getting a makeover.
And let’s be honest, we’re all for it.
While all of the 2017 F1 cars look better than their predecessors due to their new shape required by the updated sporting regulations, the Sahara Force India team’s F1 livery leaves much to be desired.
Fortunately, according to the German publication Auto Bild, Force India is in talks with BWT - and Austrian water technology company.
According to the report, a condition of BWT's sponsor agreements is that the cars are always painted pink.
This can be seen with Lucas Auer and Christian Vietoris’ Mercedes DTM cars in 2016, which were also sponsored by BWT.

On a grid that is usually lacking in color, F1 already has a red (Ferrari), orange (McLaren), yellow (Renault) and blue (Toro Rosso) car for this season, but the door is open for a pink car on the grid, and we’re sure it would help turn some more heads.
In 2015, both the McLaren and Sauber F1 teams altered their liveries after the initial reception of their cars' looks had not been all that positive.
