The shittines of a Force India seat is kind of debatable right now though. I expect it to drop backwards through the grid like a brick once the rich boys start rolling out car updates but right now it looks no worse than traditional top seats like Ferrari or McLaren.

There is when Honda will probably be their title sponsor next year. That is if they aren't secretly being sponsored by Honda right now.

Jenson must have some primo dirt on someone high up at Honda because they can't seem to stop secretly funding his undersponsored Mercedes drives.

It was the same with tyres back in the day, which is why in 2003 when they got pissed off with Michelin being poo poo and then insulting them in press releases, Minardi were able to move to Bridgestone with no fuss.


Didn't they have a ton of fuss though? I remember them actually testing their car on Avon F3000 tires because they didn't get the Bridgestone deal worked out until the last possible second, and then when they did it turned out the tires were significantly stiffer laterally compared to the Michelins so their suspension didn't work with it at all (you'd think someone would have told them).
