Driver market could get more interesting....

Interesting - Seems the wheels are starting to fall off that empire.....

I guess he'll give India a wide berth in a couple of weeks!

As for the team, I dunno - These guys have so much "off-shore" etc stuff going on I suspect they may not be affected - At least in the short term. Can't be good for morale however.

Typical F1 drama.
India's first F1 team has to race in first Indian GP without its owner.

 

+1. Well said.

 

Which is why F1 is awesome to follow

They can rename the team Onyx 2.0

Nice to see F1's rogue tradition being honored.

 

According to Blick the Incredible Hulk signed today with Sauber.

Another great opportunity Ferrari let slip through its hands.

 

Any more unforced errors and I'm calling them saber.

 

They are just rattling sabers!

 

That's interesting. Could such a thing happen in the US? I mean, arrest warrants for company officers for something as trivial as unpaid bills. In the US I guess we'd just seize the corporate assets.

Hopefully the team doesn't go away but gets taken over by someone. They actually were doing well. It'd be a shame to have them go and all the new teams remain.

FChat-F1 anyone? <g> With all the armchair quarterbacks here we're guaranteed WCC!

 

Its slightly more than unpaid bills - they bounced checks effectively on the government - how does happy is the IRS if your taxes check bounces ?

 

Pretty unhappy. But corporations are people and the IRS will not pursue you personally.

 

Ouch. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Hopefully he can get things in order and cover those bounced checks.

Really doubtful the owenrship of the F1 team is the same as the airline. Different corporations, different officiers. So it would be difficult for any entity to go after the assets of the F1 team. Especially if the F1 team had a base out of India, such as England.

Unless of course, they used really stupid lawyers. But then, with the airline losing money since day one, they had to know this day would come.

 

LOL, are you SERIOUS??!!

 

Opportunity?

 

Yup

 

The Hulk at Sauber could be an exciting mix.

 

Hope that Mallya pulls out of the tailspin. My bet is that he will land on his feet.
I like the fact that F1 has some successful entrepreneurs with personality running teams instead of just the big corporations.

As you said earlier, "it's nice to know the rogues are still around".

Gotta love F1

Cheers,

They need a fast and steady driver. He fits that bill

 

+1

Except, there's not many "big corporations" competing right now........

"Swings & roundabouts" - They come & go. The "rogues" are pretty much the only constant.....


Cheers,

+1

Question becomes, is he quicker than Kobi?

One of the more interesting pairings next year IMO.

Cheers,
Ian

 

Kobi will be faster but Hulk collect more points
