Force India confirms 2013 launch date

Force India has become the first team to confirm the launch date of its new car – as the outfit plans to unveil its 2013 challenger on 1 February.

The Silverstone-based team, which ended its season on a high as Nico Hulkenberg challenged for victory in Brazil, plans to unveil its Mercedes-powered VJM06 at its home circuit.

Although the outfit has not confirmed either of its drivers for 2013, Paul di Resta is expected to remain on board for a third season.

With Hulkenberg switching to Sauber, the team is weighing up a number of drivers to line up alongside di Resta – including Adrian Sutil, Sebastien Buemi, and Jaime Alguersuari.

Formula 1′s first official pre-season test of 2013 will take place at Jerez from 5 February.
