Stoddart won’t return to F1 until Mosley goes

Paul Stoddart

Paul Stoddart, formerly the team boss of the Minardi F1 team, is in Melbourne this week to work as a radio commentator and says he would like to get back into F1, but only if there are some changes at the FIA. The ever-controversial Australia, who clashed with the FIA on several occasions in the past (but allied with the federation on other occasions) said that he would probably not come back if Max Mosley was still FIA President.

Stoddart says that he looked at buying Super Aguri.

"If a team were to come onto the market at a sensible price that I felt I could do something with, then I would be interested," he said. "There is a monumental difference between starting a new team and taking an existing one – all kinds of financial differences. So if you ask me if I would be interested in starting a new team? Not until Mosley has gone. Would I be interested in buying an existing team? If the right opportunity came along I would definitely be interested." Grandprix.com
