Back with a Vengeance
David Richards will return to Formula One in 2008 for his third attempt at running a team - but this time, with his Prodrive company, it will be on his own terms. Biranit Goren sat down with the motorsport mogul for a lengthy interview - about Aston Martin and Le Mans, Jacques Villeneuve and Jenson Button, Honda and the F1 paddock, WRC and commercial rights. Whether you're a fan of Richards or not, just don't make the mistake of underestimating him
The Star of David
On the eve of the San Marino Grand Prix, two months ago, Prodrive's finance director Clive Scrivener walked into David Richards' office, waving a piece of paper at the company's founder and chairman.
"You want the good news or the bad news?" Scrivener began. "Well, the good news, you've got the entry for the 2008 Formula One World Championship. The bad news, we want to know what the hell is your plan."
