Mercedes boss Toto Wolff will be particularly attentive to Force India's administration proceedings that will unfold in the coming days and weeks.
As a creditor, the German manufacturer is a party to the legal action that was initiated last week by Sergio Perez.
But Wolff is also eager to learn more about the team's prospective buyer and the possible implications for the relationship between Mercedes and Force India.
"Let's see who shows interest," Wolff said in Hungary.
"We as Mercedes are interested spectators of the process.
"We would like to understand what the funding strategy going forward from a potential new buyer is, how it could affect the collaboration between the two teams. We aren’t there yet."
Force India's situation is obviously fluid, but like the entire Formula 1 community, Wolff hopes the Silverstone-based outfit will weather the storm and emerge as a sound and strong entity.
While Force India co-owner has lost control of the team, Wolff offered a reminder that the Indian business tycoon had generously supported his team over the years.
"First of all we must pay tribute to Vijay Mallya, who always supported and financed the team. He had his difficulties and it affected the team," he said.
"Now there are many potential buyers who show great interest in the team.
"They have the means and they understand how much money is required to achieve results, so now we'll see what happens," Wolff added.
