stopkidding 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 so I long onto to autosport to get my daily fix of F1 news, and I see these two headlines... 1) Jean Todt steps down as Ferrari CEO 2) Toro Rosso up fpr sale what the Popsicle is going on here? Ok no surprises here, Todt was already far moved from the Scuderia operations but didn't they state his greater role as being the Ferrari CEO the reason why he was no longer team principal? As for Toro Rosso, it would be nice if a Mallaya type maverick took over Toro Rosso and bring about the resurgence of the privateer teams...Perhaps a chance for Stoddart to get back? or even Dave Richards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jez 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Interesting stuff. Can't think of anything worth typing about either topic at this point! Edit- I will say that it'd be nice to see fellow Aussie Stoddart back in the paddock. I liked his attitude back in the Minardi days, and it would be fitting to reclaim his old team back.

goferrarigo 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 According to reports, Stoodart is looking at the offer.. It is expected to be for 80 million euros, though he is not looking to sell the team this season. My thoughts are he is selling the team coz he realised that he can't make the infrastructre for two teams to be constructors.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My exact thoughts AJ I wonder if Gerhard will buy out the remaining 50% stake in the team. Maybe he will sell the remainder of his transport company to raise the funds needed. Some big decisions to be made that's for sure an certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Perhaps a sign that we'll be down to 9 teams next year? Not wanting to be the doom and gloom sayer, but if neither Super Aguri or Toro Rosso can make their own car next year, it's see ya later aligators... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
