London: Vijay Mallya has resigned as a director of Force India and is expected to hand the board role to his son Siddarth, while he remains the team principal of the Silverstone outfit. Mallya says he want to focus on his own legal issues, and doesn’t want them to impact the team. The 31-year-old Siddarth has also worked in the family business, and served as a director of the Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL cricket team. “I continue as team principal,” Mallya was quoted as saying. “Rumours keep going on and on and on, and people talk and talk and talk,” he said.
