This is not the name of any new indian task force. This is the name first indian formula one team owned by vijay mallaya , famous for his parties and kingfisher calender. Millions of Indians, home and abroad, will cheer Force India’s gold, tungsten and white cars race past the chequered flag at Albert Park, judging by the media build up in the run up to its debut season.

He will be partnered by Adrian Sutil, a 25-year-old German who did well for the uncompetitive Spyker in 2007, scoring a point in Japan. Both mallya and michiel mol is hoping to develop it into a serious challenger to powerhouses Ferrari and McLaren by 2010. Lets c on 16 at albert park …….

    Yea Force India should rock, Mallya said after the second race that they have enhancements in order which should improve timings by about 0.4-0.5 secs.These enhancements will all be in by the Bahrain race. With Fisi behind the wheels, there should be no problems of converting the enhancements into actual race results…..Sutil suckz tho,n i believe Karun or some other Indian driver should be brought in…….
