Stoddart to re-enter F1 with Minardi in 2008

Former Minardi owner Paul Stoddart will re-enter Formula One in 2008. He submitted his team at the FIA as 'European Minardi F1 team Limited' he revealed today. Minardi was sold in 2005 to Red Bull, but Stoddart will be back soon.

"I've lodged myself an entry as European Minardi F1 team Limited," the Australian aviation entrepreneur told Reuters on Tuesday.

New teams that are interested to enter Formula One need to be submitted by March 31 2006. Stoddart's team would complete the maximum of 12 Formula One teams.

is that a good news or bad news?

As long as Minardi can produce relatively competetive cars, i don't see why he's not allowed in. I don't expect Paul Stoddart to produce cars that could challenge for a win, but at least a car that is competetive to take on the Midlands, the Toro Rosso or the Toyotas.

Last year and a few years before, Minardi was the laughing stock of F1. Their cars were constantly 3-4 seconds per lap slower and it was a real pain to watch them being lapped.
