Hulkenberg to debut Force India's VJM08 on Friday
Force India plans to debut its 2015 challenger on Friday afternoon in Barcelona, with Nico Hulkenberg scheduled to be behind the wheel.
Force India missed the first test in Jerez and then arrived in Barcelona with its 2014 car due to delays with the VJM08. The team released the first image of the car on Wednesday and the following day confirmed its plan for the rest of the final test.
Nico Hulkenberg will get two days behind the wheel before Sergio Perez takes over testing duties for the final day of winter testing on Sunday. The team was able to conduct valuable tyre tests last week but will benefit from finally being able to put the 2015 car through its paces as the days tick away before the opener in Melbourne on March 15.
Our VJM08 is currently on its way to Barcelona; we'll be aiming for action on Friday afternoon and on the two full final days. #FeelTheForce
