What will really make F1 more accessible, naming a team aside, is an international race track in India.

When you can go see a race live, that truly will announce to the world, we have our own circuit, and we have earned our position in the world. Not merely, by purchasing a foreign crew/ team and naming it India.

Dhruv,

“Also, what gives them the right to name the team after India? Of course it is now partially owned by an Indian. But it DOES not represent India. Little technology in the car is likely to be Indian. An Indian is unlikely to be driving it.”

You need rest, past bedtime and all.

I guess u have not read and unstd ur post properly..
in where does ur post u say that Dr. mallya named it for his marketting and so that u dont like force india..
u said that

“I don’t think I feel proud to see a F1 team named after India. The problem is that the team is unlikely to score many points next season and the team India as it is being called is going to be placed way down the order.

Now that would not make me feel much better.”

You now urself read it.and tell..
man i dont know why its so hard for u to accept the fact that u differed from original post

my stand? did you even read the BLOG POST fully?

and how is mallya marketing his own brand by not naming the team after kingfisher or UB?

i am pretty sure that mr. mallya is very patriotic. he used the name India in the team name. baffles me. even more when he is not going to take the risk by taking chandok and narain as the drivers. if that was the case, force india would have been a perfect name for the team.

what..well do u know nything about marketing..
Through F1 Mallya will earn reputation for kingfisher airlines and beer..
For your kind info Kingfisher is going international…it will earn reputation and will earn more revenues..More revenues more buisness and more buisness means more job generation.
And even if there is nothing of renvenues than what cricket and hockey gave by using that name??..
Whats wrong if he is marketting his own brand..he has money and he can do it..
and secondly if u read ur original post and the last post u will undstd how u changed ur stand…

umm i think the post talks about all these points…

mallya is going to market his OWN company through this team.

it’s funny that you think that owning a formula-1 team is going to generate jobs in india.

indian managers? more like indian financiers. a team manager is one who knows how to run a formula-1 team. putting in money is the job of the financier.

coaches? i am talking about drivers here. drivers in f1 = players in cricket/hockey.

i am repeating my original point for the last time here. force india has nothing indian in it except for the money that is generated through liqueur. the team name should have included mallya’s own brand of company names and not india. that’s it.
