Liqour baron Mallya had bought the Spyker Ferrari Formula 1 team in 2007 through a joint venture company named Orange India Holdings with Dutch e-commerce businessmen Jan and Michiel Mol, for reportedly around 90 million euros. The team was renamed Force India in the 2008 season.
The team would henceforth be known as Sahara Force India. Roy, who will become the chairman of the board of the team, said: "Now we have to sit together and discuss about how to make this the best team."
