Mallya plans to float Force India

Vijay Mallya is considering listing his F1 team Force India as well as his other sports interests on the Indian stock exchange.

India's Economic Times said the billionaire, head of the United Breweries group, planned to combine his sports assets including cricket and football teams.

"I am working on this plan and could go for a possible listing or bring in financial investors," said the 53-year-old, whose team co-owner Michiel Mol is also at the Monza circuit this weekend.

The plan comes amid a run of form for the Silverstone based team, with Giancarlo Fisichella achieving pole position and a podium two weeks ago in Belgium, and Adrian Sutil setting the pace at Monza on Friday.
