Vijay Mallya looks at money making opportunity and nothing else. He has usurped the nation's name but is refusing to commit signing on an Indian driver. He is only seeking to attract sponsor money from the "India" tag attached to his team. Any talk of nationalism in the creation of "Team Force India" is a farce.
I wish the very best for Vijay Mallya's team, but I cannot accept it as an Indian team till he contracts at least one Indian driver and a few Indian engineers in the pit crew.

Mr. Bharadwaj i am not sure if you are being sarcastic, but if you want some Indians who can make it big in F1 here are a few: Narain Karthikeyan, Karun Chandok, Arman Ibrahim have been doing the rounds for sometime now.

i have a lot of respect for the sportsmen you have mentioned Prakash...its amazing that they have gone so far in a sport like F1 in INDIA where everyone is crazy over cricket...me included...but...we cannot expect the drivers of highest quality from India unless we have infrastructure and facilities to support them...This Mallya chap is helping the cause...lets not throw tantrums at him atleast...we are not the only patriots of the country...i dont understand why rich people are considered less patriot!!!!!!!!!give them a break for once...

Narain Karthikeyan may be the best in India, but on the world stage? How many races has he won?
