Fraud case notwithstanding makes sense to sell out now. Can't believe the team will ever again have season as good as last year's.

Joe Saward has been following the travails of both of Force India's owners for some time now.

His latest update is here.

"Fraud" and "financial irregularities" are never too far removed from the world of F1.

And as usual the people that will be suffering the most are the engineers and technical staff, given the amazing work the seem to have been doing I do feel for them....

There's a post by Joe Saward on his blog about McLaren extending their deal with Johnnie Walker.

He extrapolates the renewed deal with McLaren to mean that Diageo have lost interest in Force India and therefore Aston Martin F1 is unlikely to happen.

How much of a stake does Vijay Mallya still have?

Looking even worse now for Mallya
