    "Although Force India has done well this year on the race tracks, there are still very serious worries about the team’s future funding because of difficulties that its two owners – Vijay Mallya and Roy Subrata Sahara – have run into.

    Mallya’s deeply-indebted Kingfisher Airlines – which owes an estimated $1.4 billion – is now facing ever-deeper trouble. This morning a number of Kingfisher pilots in Mumbai decided to join the strike called by the company’s engineers, who are complaining that their salaries have not been paid in seven months. "

    Paul and Hulk might need a new job in 2014. Can this team even think about paying for new motors???

    Good chance neither of them will be at Farce India next year anyway: The Incredible Hulk is likely to end up at Sauber or Ferrari.

    And I'm not worried about DiResta. He is good enough to land a better gig somewhere else any day.

    Too bad because this team really seems like it's on the rise. They've done (since '08) what Caterham and the other wanna-bes dream of doing.

    But they (FI) didn't have the disadvantage of starting from sratch.

    Agreed.
    Seems like we've seen this sort of thing before in F1.
