Could this be a way back? As football fans will know, Administration is a very nice place to be in

as things stand at the moment whoever wants to get into F1, it's probably better to but STR than SA. The clincher in any deal with SA depends on how much is owed to Honda and when they want it paid back, immediately or some time later |

STR are based at Minardi's old Faenza factory and therefore have at least some of the equipment necessary for constructing a car. Super Aguri don't. With customer cars on the way out (<yahoo>), buying up Super Aguri isn't going to look like a good proposition for any prospective F1 team unless they come armed with massive investment for building their own car. |

Simple answer is no one. People like Stoddy will express an interest, but the simple answer is he or any other privateer can't afford it. If anyone is daft enough to buy SA all they get is a couple of grid slots, nothing else. And if they keep the existing 90 or so staff an immediate salary bill of around GBP 250.000.00 a month plus all of the expenses of running the factory. That as a business proposition is absolutely ludicrous, and any organisation with anything approaching those resources would never consider such an investment |
