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."

"If it had funds, LOLA would be a great buyer. It's a credible manufacturer in its own right, would probably like to make amends for its failed attempt at F1, and most of all IT HAS A HISTORY WITH HONDA!

Of course, it would take some major sponsorship, maybe from BP. English team, English driver, English sponsor."

"Porsche my backside. Last time they had a look (think they gave a prototype engine to Arrows for a trial), they were incredulous when told that their engine was 100BHP down and 100kg overweight on contemporary powerplants! You just have to look at their flagship 911 to see - it's bloody 50 years old, and the Boxster/Cayman is only a smaller version! They don't like investing much in new technology when they've got away with selling cars that have been tweaked since WWII..."
