Love that, if only because it's nice to see something a little different on the grid that will actually stand out.
I had exactly the same thoughts.

Not nice. Even if pink is the new black.

While the colour is questionable - and I cant think that the new sponsors corporate colour must surely be blue? - apparently it looks better in the flesh so Ill wait and see,
Good to note that FI can attract new sponsorship - the haas, sauber, mclaren and renault in particular look very bare

Love it. Top job Force India. Now for McLaren to see sense and paint theirs the proper shade of orange with more subtle use of black. Or go all white with red Honda logo.

Not to my taste but it's certainly striking and will draw lots of attention and camera time which is good for Force India and I'm sure that will have helped them negotiate a decent amount for the sponsorship.

Considering how dull and boring the rest of the liveries on the grid are this is pretty good.

The actual livery is simple enough and a bright colour teamed with flashes of black is fine.

I'm all for some different colours on the grid and I'd be all on board for the pink as a livery but that pale pastel colour is shocking. Should have gone for something a bit more vibrant and interesting.

They should do a Surtees and get Durex on board as a sponsor.
