Force India angered by push for customer cars

Force India has expressed its disappointment on the drive for third automobiles and finally customer automobiles which was voted through at yesterday's F1 Strategy Group meeting.
Although perhaps not expressly summarized in today's FIA statement - there was simply a mention of the "a complete proposal to make sure the sustainability of the sport" - strategies to get an effective study of how consumer automobiles would operate were supported, despite resistance in the Force India's representative, deputy team principal Bob Fernley.
The Silverstone ensemble has a existence in the Method Group after completing as the 'greatest of the remainder' in the 2014 World Championship, and therefore is essentially the sole team representing the interests of its own fellow fighting independents, specifically Sauber, Lotus and Man Or.
All would like to keep up as constructors in their particular right, and see any move towards an alternate future as a danger.
"No curiosity about cost controls"
"There was no-interest in any way from producer teams in discussing something regarding cost controls or more fair income distribution," Fernley informed Motorsport.com. "It was totally abandoned towards the consumer automobiles.
"In some ways it makes points abundantly obvious where F-1 is heading. We have guessed that customer automobiles were needed for some time now, however this can be the very first time that it is actually moving through as the sole option as far as producer teams are involved.
"It is maybe not finalised as from what the bundle is, however there is an obvious procedure that is likely to take place now. If any groups neglect, the producer teams will operate a third vehicle, and in the mean time they are going to get on with assembling a proposition as well as a format for consumer automobiles.
"Their goal is always to give the impartial groups first-refusal on these to see whether they would like to change from truly being a constructor into a customer auto team.
"Yet there will be major disadvantages to that, as it is possible to envision. However, the demon will soon take the detail. In the meantime we have to find out the path that we should go on in and look at exactly how we safeguard our position."
Are consumer automobiles feasible?
Fernley does not consider that providing customer automobiles would perform for the large teams: "The issue will be-whether it is even feasible to have a consumer auto programme? That is the bit they've got to show.
"They're determined it is, but I'm-not convinced on that, which will be the most effective means of placing it, I believe. The impartial groups will not be involved in the alternatives."
