Ecclestone to rescue Minardi?

[Willie the Pimp]

Hi Liz... Sadly i don't think Lighting candles or praying in church will do any good.or is dat just your sarcasm?
Lighting candles at home now dat sounds good.
Mmm Hockey?..i hope you mean Ice hockey (there's no other kind right?) i do hope Minardi can be saved as they do get it right sometimes.

Willie, if you stand on the train tracks and you don't think the train will hit you ... what difference will that make?

Translation: I don't think it matters if you don't think lighting candles in church will help Minardi. But light one at home if you can. It's the thought behind it that counts. Not the location.

We are all looking in the wrong direction. There is only one person who could save Minardi - Bill Gates. He could buy Minardi with his petty cash. He would have the latest software and hardware that the other teams could only dream of. And for an engine, obviously he would buy the firm who owns the team with the best engine, and Minardi would be at the front of the grid pronto. I will leave it to your imagination how he could get the driver of his choice. No problemo.

Hmmm... the first version of the car would be late and then full of bugs so they would have to update, update, update!

Lol Tris...how true!

Say, has anyone here heard of Wipro or Azim Premji?

Minardi have all the charisma they need Mr. Pimp. (Cool name by the way )

I say Ten-Tenths should get that logo onto the cars - we must be able to raise enough to do it. We can all officially be the guys who saved F1's best team.

The point about Mercedes is a good one - I respect Ferrari a great deal for supplying 2 teams with customer engines (whilst resenting that they went for Prost and not my boys) - and think that Mercedes should be made to supply customer engines to another team. It's the only way this sort of problem will be resolved else it will go on and on every season.

On the subject of drivers, take your pick from Badoer, Tuero or Takagi to partner Alonso.

HURRAH FOR MINARDI!!!
