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. :(

yes F1 is not a sport in real terms.its just a platform for the auto companies to showcase the strength of their products,make name and its a huge advertisement opportunity for them
with auto sales dwindling around the world, with weird cost cutting schemes doing round in the companies, the fate of the coming seasons looks lack lustre.
tough times ahead.
i believe Mr. Mallya will not let the Force India team collapse, he is the India Inc most flamboyant entity and its a matter of pride for him...i think force india will be sheilded by him come whatever it may be.
