Opposition from Formula 1 teams to a proposal from CEO Chase Carey to help Force India find new investment could hurt the team's efforts, according to a report in Germany.

Auto Motor und Sport has suggested Renault, Williams and McLaren are blocking a move which would allow the Silverstone-based team to retain their prize money and TV revenue even if the name should change, something that is usually only agreed between seasons.

Having to forego that payment could cost the team which started life as Jordan around $150m this season as well as possibly becoming ineligible for further payments in the coming years should a new company entirely be set-up.

McLaren and Williams' objections are reportedly linked to Liberty's future plans for budget caps and a restructuring of the revenue distribution model, with the aim of possibly trying to get concessions for their approval.

At Renault is believed their stance is in protest to the power of Mercedes and Ferrari and how they also use their customer teams for political gain.

It is unknown if these positions will be maintained should there become a genuine threat of losing Force India from the grid, with the administration action launched by driver Sergio Perez, he claims, to avoid the loss of jobs from a winding-up order.

Engine supplier Mercedes were also believed to be involved in the legal proceedings taken, with the two parties claiming a reported $12m in unpaid bills, and motorsport boss Toto Wolff is closely following the situation.

“A formal process has been started with administration and we have to wait and see who will bid for the assets,” he said, with billionaires Lawrence Stroll and Dmitry Mazepin, both of whom have race drivers for sons.

“We as Mercedes are interested spectators of the process and we would like to understand what the funding strategy from a potential new buyer is, how it could affect the collaboration between the two teams. We aren’t there yet.”

The Austrian remains confident, however, a resolution will be found.

“Now that the process has been kicked off by the administrator, there are many potential buyers with great interest, with deep pockets, [and] with an understanding of what kind of spending levels are needed in order to perform in F1," he claimed.

“It’s something that is positive for the team, and for all its employees, I would say."

The potential of the team is one of its main assets, having finished fourth in the Constructors' standings behind the top three teams the past two seasons.

This year, they still sit sixth in those standings despite their issues, though neither Perez nor Esteban Ocon scored points last weekend in Hungary.
