    Does anybody know, whether the new Spyker owner from India will continue the Ferrari engine deal for next year?

    Just curious.

    They will use Ferrari motors. Mallaya has a great relationship with Ferrari.

    Also I wouldn't be surprised Ralf Schumacher drives for him next year.

    I think the team was leaning toward Indian drivers, so possibly Kartikeyean(spelled wrong), who is testing for Williams and some GP2 Indian dude were being considered. We have seen what happens to F1 teams when they only choose their own countries, I think Ide made it 3 races before having his superlicense revoked.

    Yep you know they will have at least 1 indian driver, but seeing RS or another semi-big name wouldn't surprise me. After all they need an experienced guy to give them feedback and develop the car more.

    Mallaya was quoted in one of the F1 sites, saying that he would like to have two Indian drivers, Narain being one of them and Karun Chandok as the second. But neither have performed well enough to be in F1. He would like someone who is going to bring value to the team.

    Oh no, another blue and white car! I have already a hard time distinguishing between BMW and Williams.
