Interesting stuff there. He's clearly a successful and wea;thy man, and it'd be interesting to see how he does.

You could say that he was in the right place at the right time but to have the b@lls and foresight to enter the cut-throat world of steel is a credit to him.
Roll on September 2005 - can't wait to see the Midland Machine!! |

Very interesting
Until now i had thought it was some actuall russian 'mafia' guy (i.e anyone that lives in russia who has money is abviously crooked,lol). This guy's american more than anything else He says he's prepared to pour 100 mill into an f1 team on an ongoing basis Sounds like he has aspirations of living mid grid forever |

100mil is the budget Sauber were running on before they lost Red Bull. Midland would have 100mil plus whatever sponsor space they can sell.

There are words that they would use Ferrari engines. Either replacing Sauber (most likely), or they would be taking Ferrari's second supply.
