I am the boss: Mallya

Force India owner Vijay Mallya has reminded feuding factions inside his Formula One team that he pays the bills and calls the shots in the team, lest anyone forget.

There has been talk of a rift between his senior staff but he said that the whole issue had been blown out of proportion and that he was in the sport for the long haul. “Unfortunately in the Formula One paddock there is a lot of rumour-mongering that goes on,” he said at last weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.
