Russian potash producer Uralkali, controlled by Dmitry Mazepin, has questioned the sale of the Force India Formula One team after losing a bid to another billionaire. The team went into administration in next year and was rescued by the Canadian father of Williams FT driver Lance Stroll, who is expected to move to Force India July. Uralkali, co-owned by the father of junior GP3 driver Nikita Mazepin, said the administrator’s process might not have been in Force India’s interests and claims it had set unachievable deadlines for reaching a deal with Force India shareholders.
