Is F1 heading towards a 'servant' team future?

By:

While Formula 1 came together to ensure Force India would be saved, there is already controversy over what the team's future could look like and the form its relationship with Mercedes might now take

The entire Formula 1 community and fans worldwide were in agreement last week that Force India being saved from collapse was a good thing (at least in the short term).

With so many jobs at risk at the 'Pink Panther' team, which has built up a fanbase as an exciting underdog, not having it on the grid would have been a terrible blow for F1.
