Sources from Silverstone, England have stated that embattled Formula One team owner Vijay Mallya and the flamboyant businessman is currently fighting a high profile extradition request made by India, speaks instead of 'enjoying the fruits' of his labors on track and planning high-flying Force India's next decade.
Sources have stated that he is also, despite the court appearances and travel restrictions, still living the good life and enjoying a summer of sport. It was stated that Horse racing at Royal Ascot, the Wimbledon tennis championships and Champions Trophy cricket have all been on his social diary, along with Wednesday's Formula One promotional event in London.
Meanwhile Mr. Mallya took over the failing
Jordan team a decade ago and renamed it Force India for setting up India's
first Formula One entry. The talk now is of taking India out of the name to
attract the sort of big name sponsors who want a global reach rather than a
regional focus and Force India are currently fourth overall in the
constructors' standings, the position they finished in last year.
