i saw that, but figured who cares? is it really going to make a difference?

more interesting reading was the fact that minardi might make a comeback in 2008 and that stoddart has the rights to the name, the 2004 car and still has the premises from the sale to redbull...

Aye, but it's the sort of thing I'd expect to see from someone with inside information about an imminent drop in the value of the franchise.

Or it might be a tactic to try and prevent that rumoured break-away by the manufacturers.

Hadn't heard about Minardi... why would anyone bother unless they had the resources to begin winning within a couple of years?

another theory:

how much of equity group CVC Capital Partners does Bernie own?!
