Dodgy Business
So, what are the chances that Paul Stoddart will be back in Formula One as team owner?
Just imagine you are Max Mosley. You have before you the entries for the 2008 Formula One World Championship. Bernie Ecclestone says he wants 12 teams. The current 11 have all entered and one slot is left. There's an entry from Paul Stoddart under Minardi European F1 Team and there's one from a new outfit, Saddam Hussein's International Team (S.H.I.T for short). Which one to take?
There's a little rider that went along with the entry form. It provides that all entries are accepted at the sole discretion of the FIA. Which might just be a problem for Stoddart.
