Force India VJM05

The Force India VJM05 is a Formula One racing car designed by Sahara Force India F1 Team for use in the 2012 Formula One season. The car was launched on 3 February at Silverstone. It was driven by Paul di Resta, and Nico Hülkenberg who returned to the sport after spending one year as Force India's test and reserve driver.

Albeit finishing lower than 2011, Force India ended up scoring more points compared to the previous year. Hülkenberg and Di Resta achieved their best finishing positions with fourth-places at Belgian Grand Prix and Singapore Grand Prix, respectively.

The VJM05 underwent livery changes; the colours were flipped over and the graphics were redesigned from its three predecessors. The team signed a deal with Sahara India Pariwar as a title sponsor, retaining sponsors including Whyte & Mackay and Kingfisher. Medion left the team, prior to Sutil's departure. It would not return until he rejoined the team the following season.

At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Whyte & Mackay was replaced with a contest winner's name of the alcohol brand, Wendy & Keith Murray.
