Back to the topic....there have been a few stories floating around regarding Pantano, you may remember that it was suggested he may miss Monaco due to 'his' payments allegedly not being up to date.
This time it seems that his father is trying to unlever Gorgio out of the grasp of Brask management for some reason, despite him being on a long contract with them.
Pre- season it's believed that Brask allegedly raised money from investors to cover the first few races, along with the sponsorship, which we can see from the size of the livery is unlikely to be substantial. The remained was believed to be underwritten by a Monaco based company that would in turn, recoup investment by selling more space to sponsors.
As with many F1 deals, I would guess this is a fairly complicated one. Brask has largely funded Gorgio throughout his F3/3000 days (the expensive ones) and obviously hopes that he will recoup that and more, however that is dependent on Pantano having a long and paid career in F1, whereas it looks likely to be short and expensive instead.
