heh. money can buy you anything. the thing is. india does not know what it requires to host a formula-1 race and profit from it. government intervenes too much and i bet it would result in a loss making venture for any private company to get into the hosting of the f1 race. especially in or around delhi. the infrastructure is not there. we dont seem prepared for the commonwealth games, let alone a formula-1.

I think Vijay Mallya will play a key role in hosting F1 races in india but when will happen in india only god knows:cool2:
mallya is a MP. yet he had to buy air deccan to get himself the license to fly international with kingfisher. it's not going to be fun for even him to get the f1 race going in india. 😀he is already wasting millions of dollars on the force india team 😀

When he acquired Force India he told the reporters the money he is spending is from his own pocket and interest.........🙂
However, the running costs of a small Formula One team once again caused the sale of the team this time to the Orange India Holdings group, with Dr. Vijay Mallya and Michiel Mol taking over the ownership of the team.

Ecclestone fires back at 'circus' jibe
Thanks Montezemolo for providing 'clowns'
05/10/08
Bernie Ecclestone, the chief mastermind of the night racing concept for F1, has hit back at Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo's claim that the Singapore Grand Prix was akin to a "circus."
Also lashing out at the lack of overtaking opportunities at new street circuits, and the farcical Safety Car rules, Montezemolo said last week that "all this is humiliating for F1."
But Ecclestone, F1's chief executive, hinted to Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper that the attack by Montezemolo was perhaps to divert attention from Ferrari's woeful showing under the city-state's floodlights.
"If the Ferrari President is right about the Singapore Grand Prix being a circus," he said, "then we have to be grateful to him for providing the clowns.":rofl::hysterical:
The 77-year-old is undoubtedly referring to title rival Felipe Massa's botched pitstop, when the Brazilian ripped the fuel hose from the rig and pulled it the entire length of the pitlane.
Ecclestone continued to fire: "After the weekend Ferrari had, their President should have shut up and kept his head down. If Massa loses the World Championship, he will know the team were responsible."
The British billionaire also slammed Ferrari's unique pitstop gantry lights system, used instead of a traditional lollipop, as "over the top."
"Why do you want to have some other piece of technology that can go wrong?" Bernie wondered.

Santander may stick with McLaren
Team working on retaining sponsor:thumbsup:
05/10/08
McLaren is not yet resigned to losing its Spanish sponsor Santander, a major banking group, to championship rival Ferrari.
We reported recently that, even without Fernando Alonso in the Italian team's red car, Santander's likely switch from McLaren to Ferrari in 2010 is still on track.
The Spanish newspaper Sport said Banco Santander confirmed that, at the end of a three-year contract with McLaren next year, the company does not intend to exercise an option to renew for a further two years.
But now the British newspaper Daily Mail claims that Santander would be reluctant to leave McLaren if Lewis Hamilton wins the 2008 title.
"McLaren are determined to prevent their backers (...) defecting," the newspaper said.
A McLaren spokesman confirmed only that "Santander will be a McLaren partner next year."
The Daily Mail added: "It is understood that negotiations with Santander to broaden their involvement with the team are in progress."
