SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Gene Haas is frustrated at the concessions made to the rebooted Force India outfit since its takeover during the summer break.
In August, Force India was saved from financial uncertainty and administration by a consortium led by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll. On Thursday ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix a series of complications were finally resolved, although several controversial aspects remain.
The 'old' entry -- Sahara Force India -- was excluded from the championship, meaning its 59 points from the opening 12 points were erased. The 'new' entry -- Racing Point Force India -- therefore started on zero that weekend, meaning its 2018 prize money will only reflect where the new entity finishes in the championship.
