That was a great race - what a drive from Hamilton...

He owes about $1.3 billion to a group of 17 Indian banks and they're rather keen to get it back.

He should definitely look to consolidate all his loans into one manageable monthly payment.

Shame if they’ve sold it. Force India always make a great car with what little resources they have and provide good entertainment in the midfield. Hopefully they don’t end up dead last next year.

Worth a read.

I only got to this point ‘he seems to be very careful how he spends his money’
At which I disagreed to much to bother. A sensible man would not spend $40 million a year or whatever it is to drag out his hopeless son’s career.

Perez, Mercedes and BWT pushed them into administration to get Vijay out.

Vijay is even further down the list of people I would want to spend time with than Flavio.

Well it looks like quality picked up where the last race left off. I hope it's a wet one tomorrow

The team are reported to be grateful for the guys forcing the issue because it opens the team up to a buyer and therefore stable employment. I hope it works out. Coulthard made a point though, as soon as the team stop turning up to races and running the car the outfit looses all its value.

TL:DR- Teams operating company owed £159m by the team, Mercedes owed £10m for engines, Perez owes millions in unpaid wages. Team asked for Perez to start proceedings, 3 intrested parties, 2 US consortiums and a Russian bid. Rich energy drinks offered £30m sponsorship influx but was rejected

While I appreciate what you're implying, he looks like a twat with small snakes climbing out of his collar and onto his head. I bet his trousers don't go all the way down to his shoes, either.

It's something about which I could not possibly care any less if I tried.
