FOTA set to suspend Force India F1 

The Force India F1 team is the second FOTA team facing suspension from the Teams’ Association (the first being Williams F1) following their decision to lodge on Friday, an unconditional entry to next year’s 2010 F1 championship.

A Force India statement read:

“While the Force India team is broadly in agreement with the FOTA objectives, commercial obligations have demanded that Force India review its conditional entry jointly submitted by FOTA on deadline day.”

“This has been done today with full transparency between all parties. The details of the team’s position will be discussed between Dr. Vijay Mallya and FOTA vice-chairman John Howett tomorrow. No further comment will be made until those discussions have taken place.”
