The placement of Force India is a milestone in the team's history. This will certainly bring the fall of Vijay Mallya, who no longer has the hand in managing the team. Already forced to step aside as a result of these legal troubles, the Indian businessman will no longer have the stranglehold on a possible sale of the team.

For his part, Sergio Perez, in the center of this procedure, would like to recall that the only goal of his approach is to ensure a future serene to the stable.

"I find myself in a very difficult situation" explains Sergio Pérez. "Last month was extremely hard for me, with the situation in which our team was, and I find myself in the middle of it all.

"We reached a point where we had to do something to protect the 400 people who work on the team. I really wish I was not involved in it because in the end I am just a pilot, but there were too many things and some members of the team asked me to move forward and save the day. team.

"It was extremely hard, emotionally and mentally. It's really difficult. I could not concentrate on my driving. I do not understand all the lawyers' terms, but the purpose is that we either do that or the team goes bankrupt.

The Mexican therefore wants to highlight the reasons that pushed him in this action, responding to the accusations made by Vijay Mallya in a letter sent to all members of the team this Saturday

"Personally, I adore Vijay" clarified the Mexican. "I'm really heartbroken, because I know it's not ideal for him in the short term. We are all aware of the situation Vijay is experiencing. It is going through a very difficult period, not only legally but also financially.

"The team was no longer viable, so if I was the one who could do something for the team, I had to do it. Since the beginning of January, we were no longer a racing team. I will be satisfied if we can keep this whole group together and, I hope, be happy and focused. I hope a more stable team, which can move up to the next level and become a racing stable again.

Here is an update that should allow the whole team to work serenely in this Sunday's race. The two Force India pilots starting from the back of the grid.
