the racism is not in the car being uncompetitive and slow... it is d manner in which he put it... he showed as if he didnt even know the team s name... never mind... v ll b ruling europe in the next 100 years... den dey will remember our name
Lets put it into perspective. Schumi would have given the same advice even if the team had a name "Force Germany".
The fact is the car is not going to be fast even to fight for a finish on most races. It is a big mistake on Mallaya's part to name it "Force India". Why drag India's name in one private venture, which is not going to be very successful. I feel he named it so to cash in on the vast Indian following but this is one marketing gimmick that will not work!

Hey Super User, Well said.. Schumacher(s) will have probably that to say even if it was named Force Germany.
However, I dont agree with the fact that the marketing is not ok... yes, it is a gimmick, but apparently the interest in F1 has increased by more than tenfold by this Forec India gimmick than since Narain Karthikeyan was involved in F1.

Never underestimate the shrewed mallya, he purposely named it Force India instead of King Fisher becoz with this name he can garner millions worth in sponsorship from other Indian cos. like Tatas, Infosys, Air India, Indian tourism etc.Its not for nothing that he a very succesful Indian abroad as well. One can a learn a thing or two abt marketing from this fella.

Agree. It is us Indians who are too nationalist. No other car has a country's name. What is next? Islamic force, Hindu and Xtian force....?
I am amazed by your interpretation of Shumi's advise! All he said was don't waste your time with slow cars...and what an interpretation. Do you have anything against Shumi???

This is media for you....
When Modi during an election campaign said " if we come to power...gujarat will be safe and secure" THE MEDIA puts it forward as "Modi says if you do not vote for us, you will not be safe"
Media is just another form of cheap b-grade bollywood
Micheal asked his brother to retire instead of spoiling their family name by finishing 2nd last or last. Ralf didnt do well in tests with force india team.
Micheal presented Sachin with a Ferrari.. plz dont post such blunders in future and waste our time.

You should begin by spelling names correctly. It is Michael. It is not Micheal.

In business there is no room for sentiments...Its purely business dude...I dont think he has done anything wrong by not signing narain...I think India should be grateful to mallya for naming his team as Force India rather than team kingfisher...
