It was crazy enough idea 2 or so years back when Superi Aguri got conceived in order to keep Taku Sato in F1. I am a fan of Sato and I am glad he is still around and his move on Alonso last year was awesome. But still, the idea to create a multimillion dollar company for the sake of keeping one driver in F1 does sound crazy, right ?
This madness has proven to be contaigeous ! It has spread to India and another consortium around the Spice Group has openly admitted that the only purpose of their possible purchase of or investment to Super Aguri is to provide a race drive for Narain Karthikeyan …
Neha Rastogi, spokesman for the Spice Group:
“The discussions right now are centred on commercial feasibility. But our main mission is to support Indian drivers and give Narain the opportunity to drive in F1 again. So you can say the deal is contingent on this condition.”
People, please get real … Throw your money into F1 if that is what makes you feel good. But please choose the drivers based their skills …

That does seem a little over the top, there must be an awful lot of marketing money involved to spend that much in keeping one driver in F1

I guessed nationalism has its claws over the sport. I still remember Malaysia sponsored Minardi just to keep Alex Yoong in the game despite his awful performance.

yes, Malaysia sponsored Minardi, sponsored is the word… These guys want to buy the team to bring a guy back to F1
