Strong rumors reported a name change for Force India before the launch of the 2018 season Formula 1. This will not be the case, since the pink single-seaters of Sergio Pérez et Esteban Ocon have kept the name decided by its founder Vijay Mallya in 2008. “It’s not going to happen this year, indicated Otmar Szafnauer, Director of Operations, to the official Formula 1 website.

However, the noise from the paddock was right: a name change was proposed to the FIA. “After various conversations with partners, employees and sponsors, we spoke to the FIA ​​and FOM, who responded to us” Well, you're a little late...“. Now we know how the process works. »
