Never liked him since he put polical slogans on his cars in Malaysia about peace, just as our troops were going to war. Insensitive in the extreme. ...and he has filthy fingernails.

what the hell?

1. He's Australian. Our troops aren't his.
2. Insensitive? Invading people is a bit insensitive too.

3. Filthy Fingernails... never noticed.

I think Minardi do a pretty good job, considering their budget is around 5% of what Ferrari and Toyota spend (IIRC).

According to Autosport at the end of last year, Minardi's entire budget is less than Ferrari spend on hospitality alone.

Some interesting (and rather amusing) information to be found here. Letters, unsurprisingly, to be found under "Correspondence with Minardi Team Principal".

1- His workers in Ledbury are British.

2- The rights and wrongs of the decision to go to war should be put to one side once our troops are committed.

3- Looking grubby and unkempt in an interview when you are the head of an international company is slobbish and discloses what a git the opportunistic lowlife is.
