simple name change ; "Telmex Force Inida Formula 1 Team" would not surprise me at all..
Its hard to believe it would be Telmex Force India, because of the following fact.

"In October 2011, Indian company Sahara India Pariwar, purchased 42.5% of Force India F1's shares at US$100 million.[10]"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_India
Sahara was ordered to refund US$3.9 Billion to investors over an illegal stock move, and its CEO and founder Subrata Roy is still in in jail over failing to raise a US$1.6 Billion deposit to secure his release.

I'm thinking Telmex probably didn't have to pay $100 Million...

Title sponsor at the least, could well end up with the team rebranded.

Fia registration for the following yr has to be in by October. Shares may be exchanged later of course. Therefore expect it to revert back to original then perhaps a title change the following yr if another sponsor is confirmed. We shall see if my frenchie friend is right possibly around the release of the new car in err mexico of all places.:-)
