Fry: Three interested buyers already

Friday 5th December 2008

Honda F1 boss Nick Fry has claimed that the team has already been approached by three prospective buyers following the announcement that Honda have decided to withdraw from the sport with immediate effect.

No sooner had Honda's Japanese president Takeo Fukui confirmed that the team was pulling out of the sport than Fry hit the airwaves to announce that he was confident the team could be saved despite the worldwide economic slowdown.

"We've only had twelve hours since the news but already we have had three serious people come forward and say they are interested in buying us," Fry told BBC Radio Five Live.

"We will be quite a desirable asset for somebody. For the moment, it's business as usual and we still hope to be on the grid in Melbourne."
