The entry of Mallya into F1 as a team owner excited me at first coz I thought we'd get to see some Indian talent driving for his team(Narain or Karun). But it seems its all rubbish coz he isn't hiring an Indian driver for next season. So he shudn't even bother changing the name to Force India rather its shud be Kingfisher or UB. No Indian in his right mind shud be supporting Mallya's team coz there is nuthin Indian about it other than him. The whole thing is a big disappointment and I wish that no Indian companies come forward as sponsors or advertisers for Mallya's team.

Paul,
are you mad? or just plain stupid? there is no indian capable of driving the F1 car next season, but there definitely will be an indian driving a team Force India car in 2009! and instead of showing support, you want to withdraw it? F1 is the most glamorous sport in the world. and an indian now OWNS a team. do you know what that means for us indians? we can have our head held up high and be in the same sports ownership league and a few others. people like you make me sick. please dont support force india/mallya next year if you dont want to. it really will NOT make a difference to those of us who are excited and waiting for this!

Am I mad? U make me sick. If just an Indian owning a team makes u proud ur as shallow as they come. You have to look at the value addition to the Indian Formula1 scene. I guess you dont folow the sport as ardently as I do. Force India or whatever should be an avenue for Indian drivers to showcase their talents. I make you sick, its ppl who dont know crap about F1 like u that make me sick. I'll give an idiot like you an example what is Nakajima doing in a Williams?Do you even have a clue of the alliance involved? Any team with the India in the name should be Indian to some extent, not just the owner. And what are you excited about a team thats at the back of the grid with an Indian owner. Shows what interests guys like u.
