I agree here, except for the rescue bit, I'm sure there was a small amount of that there.
when he Bought Minardi there were other parties interested in buying into F1, and there weren't *that many* for sale.
He was ****ed that Prost went under providing a cheaper entry into F1 that otherwise would have been possible, when that fell through I'm sure he had some sort of smile on his face...same with Arrows.
He whinges when there is money to be had, he is whingeing now after the sale of Jaguar has taken another prospective buyer (coincidence ?)
