i wont be surprised if F1 bring mallaya's downfall. It wud hav been sensible had he purchased red bull. This force Ind is totally out of contention for earning a single point. Forget abt nationality. He is a biz man & he knows how to target today's generation. There is nothing patriotic abt him buying F1. These are advertisement gimmicks. Shilpa Shetty who doesnt know a thing abt F1 is promoting F1 for him only for publicity. Ppl in Ind shud realise that its not ODI match being played where bit of of luck & hardwork favours the team. F1 is all abt mechanism & perfect engineering. U put Kimi on Force Ind, he cant win a single race. so dont be patriotic & support the best team.

Force India Drivers Fisichella and Sutil both out of top 10 in Australian F1 circuit.Its not a positive thing that they qualified friday... Big guns like Alonso, Barichello also out of final compettition... both Indian drivers are slower has timed a more than second from others... Its just the starting , we will achieve next year may be...
Thanx a ton to Vijay Mallaya who has taken the Giant step.. Atleast we can see indian flag in F1 game :)
Cheers for Force India team Debashis From Sydney,Australia
Vijay Mallya is a true indian and not ambanis and mittal.....they never do anything that could take india to a new level.....rather only thinks of earning money for themselves.....where as Mallya invests money in all those aspects that could earn india some respect in international circuit as well....Learn from Mallya

Mallya is an opportunist. He is makes money in this way and put everything in his pocket. Don't compare Ambani's with Mallya, do u know the revolutions made by ambani's in cell phone arena, in retail markets, etc. Just don't type anything u want

What has Mallaya done to 'take India to the next level'? He too is doing this because he sees this as an opportunity to make money on the F1 craze in India.

if mallya had to do anything with india then he should have hired indian drivers,atleast one.. whatever he does is simply coz of money business..nothing else

Yeah right , can u name one indian driver who is worth that seat ? and please do not talk abt Narain Karthikeyan. we know what he did at midlands. By finishing in points for just one race doesnt guarantee a driver with minimal financial backing a race seat.

Bro, everybody knws F1 is a circuit to earn money..then why not Mallya....atleast he can sign Narain Karthikeyen or Chandok in near future...so be optimistic :)

I guess this will answer all the queries and statements which said that Mallya did it for publicity. If it was done for publicity then he surely would have had indian drivers in place, used an indian engine, a car made in India with Indian drivers. That would be best for publicity!! To the true sense of F1, he has hired the right people for the job at the affordable price and for areas where it doesn't matter for race results, you have the publicity pullers!! Cheers to Mallya and his F1 team.

I disagree with you on this front. I think Mallya is a great strategist. He knows that his car is weak and a strong driver will give him the necessary inputs, which will make the car better. If the strong driver would have been an Indian, nothing better. But i doubt if you can call Karthekaine also a strong driver who can give solid inputs. Taking Fisichella, he now has that strong driver. And the results are there for us to see.
As and when the car is one of the best in business, he will get in Indian drivers also (at least one).
And we also have to understand that he has to get some return for his investment in the long run. He has not opened up charity.

why on earth has the main message removed? was it removed on the grounds of irrelevant?
I don't know who posted the original message, but can read only the replies and the subject line is interesting.
What did he said here? ? ?
oh i badly want to find out, what is wrong with rediff forums, violating security. . .
Mallya know what he want and how to get it. He is a sheer biz man and know where to invest and how much to invest. His biz brain is working in F1 too. Its a good start for Force India.
