Force India co-owner Vijay Mallya is considering changing his Formula One team's name to make the outfit more attractive to potential sponsors.
The Silverstone-based team have gone through various guises already, starting out as Jordan in 1991 and then becoming Midland in 2006 and Spyker in 2007 before Mallya took control in 2008.
Force India have never had an Indian driver, while the team's Indian sponsors were mostly brands linked to aviation and beer tycoon Mallya or co-owner, the Sahara Group.
Mallya said there was a proposal on the table from one sponsor about a name change, and his current legal situation had nothing to do with the idea. Mallya last week rejected speculation about a possible sale.
The flamboyant 61-year-old was arrested by British police in April on behalf of the Indian authorities, who accuse him of fraud.
India is seeking Mallya's extradition over unpaid loans tied to his defunct Kingfisher Airlines after the businessman moved to Britain in March last year. He has repeatedly dismissed the charges against him.
It is not the first time Mallya has mooted a team name change – he also did so in 2015 when there was talk of a deal with sportscar maker Aston Martin and whisky brand Johnnie Walker.
Force India finished fourth overall last season, a position they currently occupy after seven races.
