Interesting? Yeah, but it if it comes from "The Sun"... it might end on the moon.

Prodrive boss David Richards has flown to the Middle East for discussions about a potential rescue deal for the Honda Racing Formula One team. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72549

**Heacechig** · 12-23-2008, 01:22 AM

What was the deadline for finding a new owner? Wasn't it said to be Christmas, when Honda announced its withdrawal? Anyway, the potentially interested parties don't have much time left, they must act quickly and decisively.

there is another man interested for honda team.. a greek one........

Mallya, Slim in race for Honda F1
http://www.business-standard.com/ind.../00/31/344101/
Liquor and airline business tycoon Vijay Mallya is pitched against Mexican billionaire and one of the world's richest men Carlos Slim Helu, among others, to buy the Formula One team of Japanese auto giant Honda, a report said today. A report published today on automotive industry website Motor Authority said Carlos Slim, Force India's Mallya and UK-based motorsport and auto engineering group Prodrive's David Richards have emerged potential buyers. Other interested parties include a Swiss hedge fund and Greek shipping tycoon Achilleas Kallakis, it added

W00T! Maybe a Mexican native in a F1 car? No, highly doubt that as of right now.

Also, I don't care who buys the team from Honda as long as Fry gets fired!

**Broorbbub** · 12-23-2008, 03:03 PM

Zorba?

**Overlord** · 12-23-2008, 03:11 PM

If the deal goes through with Mexican owners, they could look to Wendy's or McDonalds for sponsorship!

**BCVB9SOc** · 12-23-2008, 03:53 PM

Whilst I have huge respect for Richards, and he would be my number one for taking over Honda, I doubt he has the financial backing to last in F1. Fact he is having economic trouble with his Aston Martin company, you have to question him.

In this respect, Mexican billionaire maybe be a better long term prospect.

Salvador Duran runs in the Renault WS with TelMex sponsorship, so I think he would certainly get a seat there

**reiseebup** · 12-24-2008, 03:53 AM

would like this to happen Mexican native in a F1 car? and that they use Alexander Rossi

Zorba?

Nah, Onasis! Oh wait, he's not around anymore!

**Overlord** · 12-24-2008, 03:25 PM

I have an idea. Get a major pharmaceutical company to buy up Honda and a couple of other teams. The drug business is doing well in stressful times. If business ever got too bad, they could always fix the races creating stress and depression among the fans and increase their revenue!

http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1212394

Isn't Rossi an American?

Either way I'd be happy to see either an American or Mexican in F1.

I got that part mixed up (Rossi Mexican)but when you look at how good some of the bmw test drivers go.

**Ambrakam** · 12-25-2008, 10:43 PM

that would be good to B. Senna.
B senna is sponsored by Embratel, which is owned by telmex.

**puzobok** · 12-26-2008, 05:48 AM

Salvador Duran runs in the Renault WS with TelMex sponsorship, so I think he would certainly get a seat there

His resume includes the British F3 National Class title in 2006 and the
the BF3 Championship class title.

He definitely popped to mind, but I don't think Duran is good enough yet. Maybe in a few years time. I just hated seeing him struggle during his stint in A1GP.
