Mallya in the bid to buy Honda F1?

TAGS: None

There is news (at this time, I would consider this pure speculation) that Mallya is one one the interested parties, along with a host of other big names, including Pro Drives Richard as possible buyers of the Honda F1 team.

For those who care to remember, Pro Drive wanted to start 2008 buying their chassis from Mercedes, but because of the Customer Car row, they decided to pull out.

Mallya might already be over committed with Force India, but now that he has almost given up control and “sold” the team to McLaren Mercedes, he might, along with Dave Richards make a bid for Honda F1. Let’s see how this plays out.

  • I know it is all too early, but is he going to merge Force and Honda?


    I doubt he would do that. That would prove pointless. Honda has some of the best resources in F1 ( I know it has not translated to wins).

    or is he going to have both teams(not sure abt that, when beer consumption is coming down) or just but the team and use all its resources for Force?

    If I were Mallya, I would probably join forces with someone like Dave Richards and buy out the team. In a few years, I would turn around and sell it (I would sell Force India and keep Honda) for a huge profit, when the economy comes back again.


    He has already signed Fisi and Sutil for 09 so I am not sure how things might work out.


    If he does buy Honda, he would keep commitments to a minimum there. He is already over stretched as far as resources go with Force India. Then again, he just partnered with McLaren, so you never know.

    Again, all this is speculation and things might change pretty quickly and drastically.
