Stodart - Whingeing Aussie or...something else?
Is it me or does Paul Stodart seem to be a bit of a whinger?
I understand he was outbid for Prost equipment, lost out to the more ruthless and experienced (not to mention loaded) Tom Walkinshaw and is now throwing his dummy out the pram because he lost the game and shan't play anymore and is going to take his bat and ball with him..... ...am I the only one to pick up on this unpleasant trait of the man? He needs to calm down - if you aren't up to competing in the shark infested waters of Formula One you should shut up and get out IMO - it's not a Sunday church picnic out there. |

It's the fact that if Prost doesn't get back on the grid, Minardi inherits their share of the funding. That's not "whingeing" -- it's business. F1 conducts its businses in the court of public opinion, as everyone knows.

Sorry, Stoddy
But Tom Walkinshaw knows a lot more about racing than you. If anyone is able to ressurect the team, I'd rather it be him. And you complain about whinging Poms? Whinging Aussies, more like!

Liz - I think you missed the point I was making. Firstly , there is no rule making it mandatory for the public to be forced to listen to team owners moan about being beaten to a deal by another who is more astute in business - and I think you will find in general that the behind the scenes dealings in F1 are far more secretive than most international business. No, sorry, it's tough luck Stodart from me. His childish behaviour this weekend has chganged my opinion of him for good. He's a bit like when Ron Dennis used to be a bad loser - with two important differences - he hasn't and probably never will win several dozen F1 races, and is far less eloquent. |
