Sahara Force India takes on a brand new look this year following the signing of a partnership agreement with Europe’s No. 1 water technology specialists, BWT.
The VJM10 will race in pink, magenta and silver to mark the beginning of a long-term relationship with the Austrian-headquartered water brand. The new colours will make their debut at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
The partnership represents BWT’s first involvement in Formula One as the brand takes advantage of the sport’s global footprint to promote its unique water treatment products, such as the BWT Magnesium Mineralizer. BWT’s presence is also reinforced with the BWT pink helmets of Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon to complement the unique BWT pink car.
Dr Vijay Mallya, Team Principal and Managing Director of Sahara Force India: “The arrival of BWT in Formula One is huge news and represents one of the most significant partnerships in our ten year history. It’s a sign of how far we have come as a team with our strong results and completes a solid commercial performance over the winter. For 2017 our cars will sport a vibrant new colour scheme with a smart matte finish. Changing the colour of our cars is an indication of the strength of this new partnership and a real statement of intent from BWT as they begin their relationship with the sport of Formula One.”
BWT CEO Andreas Weißenbacher, on BWT’s decision to sponsor a Formula 1 team, says: “The collaboration with Sahara Force India is an important part of our brand-globalisation strategy and will dynamically increase awareness of our brand around the world. We share with Formula 1 – the premier league of motor sport – the passion we show every day in trying to achieve the best possible standards for our elixir of life, H2O, enabling us to meet the demanding requirements for quality, health, safety and hygiene and drive the development of new technologies.”

No it doesn't take one to know and then go on mock it, that would be counter productive. Your response though shows you have been triggered. You ghey?

So you were triggered, confirmed. No wonder ;)
If you are trying to make an argument tell it straight, don't beat around the bush. But then again that's all the SJWs do.

There was too much black, gray and orange anyway. Those are back marker colours.
While I don't like the colour pink I do think a pink car on the grid will be nice.

I seem to remember people saying that would never happen! ;-)
I don't mind it at all, actually. I think it could have been done better, but I like the fact that it's something different, that sets it apart.

According to RS200 this is fake news. "Just a clickbait".
OT: awesome livery!

I'm thinking the divers aren't very happy about having to give up their own designs being made to wear pink helmets.

I like it! Not exactly what I'd consider a Force India livery, but whatever floats their boat. Fun to see a pink car on the grid.
