At the expiry of the sport’s current ‘Concorde Agreement’, the F1 Petronas is looking for a new owner.
The team, also known as Silver Arrow, is looking for the owner who would not be involved in the daily operations and remains conductor and engine supplier. It is a piece of information from a reliable source.
There are prospective buyers for the Silver Arrow. Nikita Mezepin from the Mazepin family of Russia is currently competing in Formula 2.
Another one in the line is Roger Penske. He is a billionaire and owns Indy Car series and the Indianapolis circuit. He also sponsors various teams in championships across the globe.
