They did have financial problems, no?

[andrew]

Some of VJ Mallya's business interests did but the last I read the F1 team were ok, but it was a while ago I last saw anything on this so things could well have changed.

Petrov is out of a race seat so you never know......

Yeah, Sarah were taking more control of the team I think.

Well, it is a hard choice between Binachi and Glock

What happened to the days when next season's grid was pretty much sorted out by late summer?

Can't remember if i said this before here, but i personally think FI are trying to clear the red tape for Sutil to return (hence this massive delay), and if they can't achieve that then Bianchi will be in.

Oh dear

LOL

If that happens....it just means Force India is in serious financial trouble. Mallya hates Karthikeyan, and said he'll never drive a FI machine since he doesn't have it in him. If he suddenly does 'have it', it simply means Mallya has thrown his ego out of the window and grabbed some cash to pay some debts for his airline.

I would be surprised if he did get the seat.....

Binachi's already driven the car in pre season testing, set a fast time which said "this is what I can do". Maybe Ferrari are just playing hardball over engines.

I'd not only be surprised, but very, very disappointed. So many better drivers out there.

Let me remind you that Kobayashi still has financial backing from that company and the money his fans collected for him.
