|
Dec.28 (GMM) Departing Honda's Brackley based formula one team has been
rescued by the second richest man in the world, according to
increasingly widespread reports in the wake of Christmas. The unofficial news was first carried at the weekend by the Italian
newspaper La Stampa, which said the Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has
succeeded in buying the team for a symbolic single dollar.
Slim, who controls the telecommunications giant Telmex, was among several interested parties in the Japanese manufacturer's outfit, including David Richards. La Stampa acknowledged that the news is not official. "But two things are certain -- the team has been saved and the drivers will be Jenson Button and rookie Bruno Senna in place of Rubens Barrichello," the Turin-published newspaper said. It is believed Slim is prepared to fund the F1 team to the tune of a healthy $300 million per year.
