Force India is pushing ahead with plans to introduce a major overhaul of its car at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix, which team boss Vijay Mallya says will result in the car looking "quite different".
The Silverstone team tends to introduce major developments in a single package. Last year the team unveiled a B-spec car mid-way through the year which transformed their season, helping the team to finish a record fifth in the standings.
That is again the plan this year, with Mallya confirming a "compehensive" package of updates for the car in Spain.
"It’s on schedule to be fitted to both cars ahead of Friday practice," he said. "It’s pretty comprehensive and the car will look quite different."
Mallya is confident Force India's best is yet to come this season and regardless of the developments, he believes they already have a good car which hasn't yet shown its full potential.
"We’ve yet to see how we perform in a clean, trouble-free race without safety cars, red flags or accidents," he added.
"Despite not realising our potential in Sochi, we took encouragement from our qualifying and race pace: the car is improving and we’ve got a good base on which to build.
"There are 17 races to go and I’m confident the best is yet to come. It’s a marathon, not a sprint."
