What a crass awful thing to say Paradise City? Unless you are Brabham or his best friend....You are obviously "in the know"...
The data re Project Brabham seems pretty overwhelming , All smoke and mirrors and BS . Classic World owes me a living.

Bit early to say. A smallish team like Force India may fall behind in the development race as the season wears on. But they've certainly done very well so far.

Maybe a new name for the team: Force India name hasn't delivered
Names can be quite important of course, must say that "Force India" never really did it for me - if the name is changed, let's hope it leads to a better financial base for them.

it would be interesting/hilarious if they opened the naming selection up to the public.

over the years a few teams have done that over here. the Toronto NBA franchised was announced around the time of the first Jurassic Park movie came out and when they announced a nation wide contest for fans to name the team the Toronto Raptors were born.

more recently, the future San Diego MLS team did something similar and when they opened up their contest, the name 'Footy McFooty Face' became the early favorite...although they opted to discard it but not before having some april fools day fun with everyone.

Back in the day Jordan were 'my' team and I stuck with them through Midland and Spyker - but when they became Force India I baled on them. Names are important and that one just made me feel slightly alienated from them. I don't really 'have' a team any more - Jordan, Arrows, Super Aguri - it's not gone well for 'my teams'!

I reckon they could do worse than revert to the original name - even though EJ is doing other things these days, the name meant something.

Names of teams is quite interesting isn't it? Even if bought out by someone else, I can't see Ferrari ever changing the name, Bernie didn't rename Brabham and call it Ecclestone or Force Surrey, McLaren has kept it's original name all along & I can't ever see Williams changing.

However look at Stewart/Jaguar/Red Bull or Toleman/Benneton/Renault/Lotus/Renault or Tyrrel/BAR/Honda/Brawn/Mercedes and that can work too. It's important to use a name for a team that means something I guess and a try-hard name like Force India doesn't cut it.

Just call it F.O.R.C.E.

Kinda like S.H.I.E.L.D....

(Yes, it is a throwback name to the Beatrice Lola Haas Hart/Ford days with Alan Jones & Patrick Tambay)

They could be a great custodian of the Jordan/Spyker/Midland/Force India legacy... if they were to leave the running of the team to the blokes and blokettes running it today...

Spyker was cool.

"Midland" sounds like a crumbly industrial estate some impoverished "Pacificesque" F1 team operates from on a shoestring budget.

Force India sounds like a corny superhero or something. Yeah, I never did like that.

I've been watching Le Mans all weekend and I just read that as "some cheese investment".

Force Cheddar?

Could even be "find a driver to replace Ocon" - he's been impressive so far this season - could he be in line for a move to a works team? If I was going to pinch a driver from Force India I'd be more inclined to take Ocon than Perez.

Personally both are safe pair of hands. Perez has matured at Force India and Ocon has taken to F1 like a duck to water

Well yeah, but I meant after firing perez for crossing the golden boy. (i mean that with all compliment to ocon. Looks like a great talent and one of the nicest on the grid).
