just to make a point .... with kingfisher airlines posting losses quarter after quarter .... mallya wont have much money left to pump in ....

to sum the whole story .... mallya isnt too lucky wen it comes to sports .... not everyone can do a Roman Abromovich!!!

Kingfisher ki JAI HO

On the serious note, i wasnt expecting fireworks from force india in their rookie season

they could have managed more than one point, if lewis hamilton wont have rammed into them (panoti kar di sale ne, bharat desh se kya bair hai bhai)

royal challengers, yes they failed in the first season, but IPL is such a tournament the coin and flip the other way very quickly so i will wait before passing a verdict on that.

and by the way not joking is main source of wealth if UB Group which shows no sign of stopping.

and the mileage and publicity he has raked in because of IPL and F1 might have double UB group sales abroad.

I would be interested in seeing the overseas sale compared to last year

Dude, it was Kimi who rammed into Sutil, not Hamilton...

-Global Crisis
-Poor marketing/PR activity
-Asia isnt in the same league as EUROPE when it comes to motor racing i.e people wasting a weekend for F1!!
-Ticket prices

That's unfortunately not the point. On a long term basis F1 in its current shape is an unsustainable sport. It's not a sport like football where fans are passionate about their clubs and the game has become a part of their life. The sport is bankrolled by the automobile companies which are going through very tough times and whatever fan following it has is primarily due to the larger than life appeal it has. Surely these despondent times won't allow for such largesse. Unless FIA works with the teams and brings the costs radically down the most glamorous sport on earth might just collapse which would be very sad. :(
