What do you think about (F1 team) Force India's decision to release Giancarlo Fisichella from his contract to race for Ferrari in Monza?
What do you think? Act of compassion? Marketing strategy? Both?

Others thought that he was there merely to add some credibility to a small team that would languish at the back, while he picked up a nice paycheck from the billionaire team owner. And while their first season wasn't spectacular, it wasn't a disaster either.
Its clear now, that Fisi wasn't just making up the numbers, and he was giving it his all in a team that was far more supportive to him than Flavio Briatorre at Renault. Certainly the situation that Nelson Piquet jnr described after his sacking there seems to reflect what Fisi went through (although if the legal department are looking at this I'm in no way suggesting that Fisi was ever ordered to crash!!!)
With the promise of a drive in the most famous name in motor sport ahead of him, I'm incredibly impressed at the way that Vijay Mallya has handled this. If he had put his foot down, I'm sure he could have forced his driver to stay, Fisi would have honoured his contract, but the disappointment involved in keeping him against his will would be deep for both parties.
At the Belgian Grand Prix it was clear that Force India were doing everything they could to keep him. In other teams this could have become a spat or a legal nightmare that could have poisoned the team and destroyed much of what they had. The fact that this has been handled so well speaks wonders about the professionalism, honor and decency of the team, Vijay Mallya and Giancarlo Fisichella. They are all class acts in my book

A drive for Ferarri is a once in a life time opportunity for anyone and Force india did a good deed letting him go.
Who knows the experience that he gains from his new drive may prove very fruitful for Force india if Fisichella returns to Force India next year.
Big up yourselves Force india for behaving like humans !

Vijay has said that there is no compensation from Ferrari for Fisi, and I do believe him.
However, I think you are right.
Ferrari have incredibly long memories, and in the future, if Force India ever decide to leave the Mercedes engine package then they'll have an option from their friends in red....
Force India have yet to confirm who will take over from Fisichella alongside Adrian Sutil in the team’s number 21 car, though third driver Vitantonio Liuzzi is already being tipped to succeed his fellow Italian.

Hi,
Please have a look at the Copy and Pasting on Mahalo.
What I'm really looking for is what you think about it, not the story itself.
