Force India didn’t wait for european races to bring its new aerodynamic package – VJM10 got new front wing, bargeboards and diffuser among other things to improve aero efficiency on fast Bahrain International Circuit.

New VJM10 was pretty fast and reliable in first two races, but Toro Rosso, Haas and Renault were very close so each tenth counts, especially in qualifying.
