yeah, i forgot about that, but still, vijay mallya will buy Michel Mol out if they start to disagree.

ForceIndia is still partially owned by Michiel Mol (ex-Spyker) so it’s not 100% an Indian team.
they’ve got a $120m budget this year

^^^i think its British team :|

did you hear that Eddie Jordan put concrete blocks in the road that leads to force india's factory, claiming: "i have no problems with [Vijay] Mallya, but the land is till owned by me"

Vijay Mallya's funding would go to a great extent in rebuilding this team. Force India can climb to spot where they can be the best among Toro Rosso / Super Aguri / Renault ... May be they can challenge Williams / Toyota / Honda ... The former 3 are perennial backmarkers while the latter three have inconsistent performance record. So anything can happen.

As far as wind tunnel is concerned you would see that most of the teams who have a well established automobile business have their own. As far as Toro Rosso / Red Bull / Force India is concerned ... they are never going to have a wind tunnel. They would probably rent one but can never afford one.

true. Honda were BAR- who were last in their first year, same with Toyota

[Sanredrose]

He "Eddie Jordan " is just trying to remind people " I am Jordan and this was my team ! People recognize me !! "

Whatever be their team nationality .. They have been bailed out of financial troubles for alteast a period of 5 years ...

[iceman1]

the size of the budget is governed by the law of diminishing returns: the more money you throw at a problem, the less you get back proportionally. Just ask Toyota or Honda if having a load of money means you will be successful. You need enough money to develop the car through the season, and to be able to participate in all the test sessions with two cars, that's enough to get started...more than money, what's important is a good team manager, a balanced chassis, a reliable engine, good team spirit and above all attention to detail.

[phil1993]

Toyota + Money = Failure
Super Aguri + whatever they find on the floor = how the f*** are they even on the grid!!! let alone overtaking a mclaren for 6th!!!

[JoostLamers]

Can Massa continue winning? No, definately not
Can Raikkonen keep his title lead? Don't know...
Can Bmw maintain their stunning form? Think they will fall a bit behind Ferrari and McLaren
Can McLaren fight back? Yes
And what of the rest: Toyota, Renault and Williams etc...
...and can Sebastian Vettel finish?
Vettel will finish his first 2008 race, i think. Williams will be strong, maybe as strong as Toyota, Renault.. Don't know what to expect from them the rest of the year...

[phil1993]

Just a handy form guide to show the drivers who are hot and those who are not in Spain

[dacer]

[phil1993]

[dacer]

[phil1993]
