LONDON: Sahara Force India’s sale to a consortium headed by Canada's Lawrence Stroll is facing a challenge in London's High Court by Uralkali, a Russian potash fertilizer producer and exporter, whose bid was spurned by administrators FRP Advisory despite making a much better financial offer.
As for why a chemicals company would have an interest in a Formula One team, Dmitry Mazepin, father of Force India development driver and GP3 racer Nikita Mazepin, is a non-executive director at Uralkali.
