The Rise & Fall of Vijay Mallya's Force India F1 | Story of the Only Indian F1 Team

Special thanks and with major help from Dr. Mohit Alimchandani (PHD & ex F1 & FIA consultant)
Indian billionaire Vijay Mallya took over from the former Spyker team in 2008 and rebranded it Force India.
The team remains at the same base outside the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire which it occupied when it originally entered Formula One as Jordan in 1991.
Having used Ferrari engines in its first season, it switched to Mercedes power in 2009. Giancarlo Fisichella nearly gave the team a breakthrough victory at Spa-Francorchamps that year, and sense then Force India has gradually strengthened its position in the midfield. So much so that in 2016 and 2017 the team finished fourth in the championship, only beaten by three teams with significantly greater resources.
However in 2018, with Mallya’s business empire facing a series of legal challenges, the team fell into administration ahead of the summer break. It was purchase by a consortium led by Lawrence Stroll, father of F1 driver Lance Stroll, and renamed as Racing Point.

I think Mahindra and Tata can launch an Indian F1 team, they have the resources also they're in Motorsport industry, both have Cars running in Formula E (Mahindra Racing and Jaguar racing) also there is first time Formule E race is taking place in India at Hyderabad circuit in February so it's good

[@mohit12aExp]

Yeah! They do have the potential do it!

[@vijaykumaryadav4905]

4cylinder vs v12 v8 engine huge difference bro they can't compete

[@I_killed_that_beard_guy]

@@vijaykumaryadav4905 correct, they can't "competite" lol They will "compete"

[@burodi9967]

Mondra trash company

[@stabakbanerjee8840]

Unless F1 starts again in India no point in investing by any of them

[@stabakbanerjee8840]

This is nostalgic, my introduction to F1 was all started like most indian when force india came ,since then always rooting for that team ( now Aston Martin) and there will be always love for Perez

[@priyanshusharma8182]

Hope tata & Mahindra will Collab & start again an Indian F1 team in future

[@ALIVEBMGO]

Mahindra has maked it's first f1 model but it doesn't has enough sponsorships and good drivers for it to go in championships

[@SarcasticBoy-uo2ov]

​@@ALIVEBMGO ig it was fe model

[@nitishsingh4072]

This is, by far, the best video on the Indian story of F1. Much respect to your narration.

[@kendrox0994]

Hey I’m a viewer from the US and I’d like to say thank you. It’s been kinda tough to find content on force India! Very well put together video and I was able to understand!

[@F1withGeet]

Awesome, thank you!

[@avinashrajbonshi]

Now that Mallya’s done repaying with interest, it’d be great to see him get back into F1 not because of anything but his passion for the sport🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ok-hg2in]

Nice and informative video

[@Awpsun]

Thankyou for the amazing story of Force India f1 team! Kudos to you for bringing up history of such great team!!! Btw was this the same team who had a major crash in DTS (drive to survive) where the pink car spit into half?

[@chinmaypanda023]

That wasn't the pink car. That was Haas F1 Car that split into half following an accident in Sakhir circuit

[@soham_and]

You say Haas, was it Mick Schumacher?

[@hunlangkharkongor2371]

Thank you sir for this video hope we'll see india racing soon in F1 world Championships "Shihajar nguh"" Sergio Perez hats off

[@lodoelodoe6235]

[@VarunChourasiya]

[@rahulsadiq56]

Tata 🤌🏼 can do with sponsors like bcci and jio

[@aphutoham147]

I think that Mahindra should become the next F1 team to represent India

[@hariomm1458]

[@mohit12aExp]

Thank You

[@F1withGeet]

Thanks 🔥

[@ANUJTHAKUR15.]

Please Make a video on story of Mahindra Formula E Team'🇮🇳👍

[@F1withGeet]

Good idea bro

[@arthurteo8111]

He had found the winning formula for his F1 team but not so for his other business venture: airlines. Could have been very comfortable if he had kept to the beverage business instead of venturing out into the loss making airline industry.

[@vsbha]

No one dares to take risks like Vijay does.. Ye tata... Mahindra Ambani nahi kr sakte

[@kailashschweigler1862]

🙏🙂

[@hunlangkharkongor2371]

I think the down fall of FIndia F1 is the lack of experience plus high sponsors, it is and always a sports of technology and i personally hope with high level of technologist personel present and widely available in our country we will once again have our own team competing in F1 world Championships , I'm not complaining but we do have rich billionaires in our country , so I'll say there's huge hope for spinsors to conclude may GOD bless us for we need F1 in India cos I love F1 deeply

[@ANUJTHAKUR15.]

I wish Mahindra Formula E .. ke tarah Formula 1 me bhe aa jaye 🤔😊😍👍🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@sergioramos7379]

Indian GP 😢

[@cristiansandu7537]

the title is in English, I can tell that much...

[@Pandu2050]

The team should have given more chances to Indians rather than others.

[@Oktolibre]

Mallya indeed found young driver, take the case of Jehan Daruvala. Jehan Daruwala is the talent found by Mallya.

[@vineet4030]

Adani can launch a team I think with Mahindra

[@chaitanamathapati5471]

They have a team in formula e

[@jvijayk]

No Indian with right mindset will enter into F1 else by now Tata, Mahindra,Birla, Ambani and Adani might have done.

[@rohitkarambali779]

Mota bhai will do or Tata

[@t3trx463]

Mahindra and tata could Collab with adani or reliance ke saath ek f1 laa sathi h

[@VarunChourasiya]

adani or realiance can launch the car

[@rahulsadiq56]

They😂only fills their accounts

[@hr4991]

Ambani wagera ko bolo apnay

[@AYUSH55552]

Mahindra Racing can launch a new indian f1 team because they have experience of managing a formula E team

[@ANUJTHAKUR15.]

I wish Mahindra do this in Future 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳👍

[@realcaesium]

formula e and formula 1 are very different

[@Oktolibre]

Mahindra produces only SUV category vehicles,

[@dhikshitaanand6286]

Tata ko F1 me aana chaiye

[@pratikprakash3353]

How Indian govt could be so stupid to allow stroll buy the team. Force india belonged to india. Guess what SBI and Indian govt had no clue about these

[@OP-71]

[@kartik-uy5jd]

[@lordjesuschrist1435]

Ambani can buy F1 team for India... Reliance bring ipl isl in India
