Force India’s VJM03 to debut on February 10

(GMM) Force India's 2010 car will run for the first time on February 10, a spokeswoman clarified on Wednesday.

After it emerged recently that the VJM03 would not be ready for Valencia next week, we reported that the Mercedes powered car would make its debut on the third day of the subsequent group test at Jerez (February 12).

"The VJM03 has always been scheduled for a test debut on 10 February," said the spokeswoman. "This has been a long-standing plan and there is no deviation from this."

February 10 is the first day of the four-day Jerez test, and on the same day Red Bull's 2010 car will also make its debut.
