Think Force India would be a more shrewd buy than Sauber

They have consistently punched above their weight for years and are located where the skilled workforce live. A very important consideration when building up a manufacturer F1 team.

Talking of Sauber there is a rumour they are planning to set up a UK technical centre to compliment their Hinwil base in Switzerland.

Forgot to add in my last post Porsche is sniffing around joining F1. Would love to see their name on a car again but have doubts it will happen. VAG group has a long history of making the right noises but never actually committing. They are partly to blame for the V6 power unit layout, originally it was a straight 4 engine but the layout was changed to help entice VAG.
