The Force India team, which will miss the first pre-season test in Jerez, is expected to be on sale, which is said to be due to the problems that Vijay Mallya, the owner, who is even facing imprisonment, got into.
The team is in danger of financial collapse, and some suppliers have not yet received payment for the manufactured parts of this year's car. “If they don’t get new funding in the next four weeks, the team’s performance in the first two races will be jeopardized. The team is for sale, ”says Ralf Bach, a journalist with the German Sport Bild, who is said to have obtained this information from reliable sources. “Renault is interested in buying as they want to sever ties with the Red Bull team and increase their presence in Formula One with the factory team,” Bach added.
He also states that the Lotus team is also looking for a new owner, as the oil company PDVSA, which supports its operation through the Venezuelan racer Pastor Maldonado, has found itself in crisis due to lower prices of petroleum products on the world market. “Bernie Ecclestone is looking for a buyer for Lotus as he wants to get rid of Gerard Lopez. He has been looking for a buyer for some time, but without success. ”
