A court warrant against owner Vijay Mallya over his airline business has no repercussions for his Force India Formula One team, deputy principal Bob Fernley said on Sunday, even as reports have emerged that driver Nico Hulkenberg is set to join Sauber next season, while teammate Paul di Resta is concerned about his future.
A non-bailable warrant had been issued against the liquor and aviation mogul after four cheques for some $2 million had bounced. "I think there's been a request for warrants, I don't think they've been issued...but I am 100 percent sure they haven't been served," Fernley told Reuters at the Korean Grand Prix.
"It doesn't affect the team at all. It has no bearing whatsoever. I don't think it will go anywhere," he added of the claim. "It is an offence in India to issue a cheque without the funds being there, for sure. There is substance in that. Why it was done I don't know. It is so far below Vijay he wouldn't have a clue what is going on anyway."
