Feb.8 (GMM) The formula one team Force India on Thursday presented its livery for the 2008 season in Mumbai.

The gold, silver, red and white design, adorning a version of the team's Dutch predecessor Spyker that has been renamed VJM01 for this season, was unveiled in a glamorous affair in front of the famous 26-metre Gateway of India monument on the seafront.

Driver lineup Giancarlo Fisichella, Adrian Sutil and tester Vitantonio Liuzzi were wearing new white and red overalls for the launch.

Although not officially a part of the team this year, Indian GP2 driver Karun Chandhok - as well as many other local luminaries - was also present.

"I can assure you that when we (India) host a formula one grand prix in 2010, Force India will definitely finish on the podium," flamboyant team owner Vijay Mallya told India Express.
