A new agreement on the financial governance of Formula One and its teams is scheduled to go into effect in 2021. Carey wants the agreement, which has not been drawn up yet, to include a more equitable distribution of prize money and a budget cap so the teams do not spend beyond their means.
Believing that such financial fairness will help Force India, Stroll said: “After looking at the numbers I said ‘O.K., where is the direction of the sport going?’ It’s no secret there’s going to be some sort of a budget cap and better cash distribution to the smaller teams.
“That is still to be clarified how well that works out, but there are all the right rumblings, and I’ve had enough conversations with Chase to understand that is the direction they want and need to take the business. For me, that spells financial opportunity, and looking at 2021 onwards, a profitable business opportunity.”
Stroll expects Force India to break into the top three in the constructors’ championship.
In laying the groundwork, the work force of 400, which has been divided between two facilities in England, at Silverstone and Brackley, will merge next March, before the construction of a new factory at Silverstone. Stroll anticipates the building will be ready by the end of 2020 or early 2021.
“That’ll be a major step for this organization, to move to a modern facility and be all under one roof,” Stroll said.
“Although the team I purchased is not one that hemorrhaged money, or lost a lot of money, it was constantly underfed. It’s not a tremendous amount of money we’re talking about, just reasonable sums, and hiring a few more people in the right places where they were previously starved because of financial reasons, so filling that appetite.
“With the right funding, the right leadership, the right motivation, there’s no reason we shouldn’t have high expectations and be able to punch even higher above our weight, to hopefully be fighting for that third place.”
