Bernie Ecclestone could be involved with a reported move to buy Force India. That is the claim of one of the most experienced veteran journalists in the F1 paddock, Roger Benoit.
The long-time correspondent for the Swiss newspaper Blick referred to recent claims that Force India's controversial owners, Vijay Mallya and Subrata Roy, could be looking to sell.
Benoit said one rumoured plan is that Force India could become the "new Brabham team". He said: "The big question is whether Bernie Ecclestone is behind it."
The reports suggest the bid is actually being fronted by the late Sir Jack Brabham's son David and a US consortium. (GMM)

Mallya could use some of that money to pay off his debts to get his passport back. But, there could be other better offers than what Bernie could put on the Table.

Maybe better, but not with deeper pockets and stronger ties to the sport.

It's going to take a lot more than selling an F1 team to get Mallya out of the $1.4 billion in unpaid bills hanging over his head.

Can someone use some imagination please and find an investor who isn't Bernie?!
