Paul Stoddart commences revenge against Tom Walkinshaw over Phoenix

Laughed myself silly when I found out who was behind this protest.

Minardi confirms Arrows protest
PAUL STODDART, the boss of Minardi, has confirmed a story we reported at the start of the week that an official complaint has been sent to the FIA about the behavior of the Arrows team in Melbourne. Stoddart will not say which team is involved but all the indications would seem to point to him - given the battle that has been going on in recent months between Stoddart and Arrows boss Tom Walkinshaw over the Phoenix Finance Ltd. bid to run a Formula 1 team this year.

"Whether it was Minardi or another team remains an issue between the FIA and the team involved," Stoddart told ITV-F1.com. "However it must be said that rules are there to be obeyed. There are many precedents of the FIA taking harsh action against teams who cheat those rules. So it remains for me to say that whatever action the FIA take has my total support."

Arrows had denied that any protest had been made.

He said this in a web chat yesterday lunchtime in the UK. He also said that it filled him with glee that Minardi were beating Arrows currently.

If it comes to a pissing contest between Stoddart and Walkinshaw, Tom will win. But it'll be fun to see!

Even if Stoddart won Walkinshaw would take it to court...

Sorry to drag this one out, Giles - but I guess not, eh? No wonder Tom was trying to get hold of the Prost rights...

I understand the feeling over there now is that Arrows are about stuffed.

Me? Wrong? Well I never! One wonders what will happen to TWR now. Perhaps a retreat into sportscars and a few years of wound-licking. It would be interesting to see how cleverly ring-fenced Arrows is in Mr Walkinshaw's empire.

Oh - I've no doubt this will have no effect on TWR at all.

Of the three teams i like most in Formula 1, Minardi and Arrows are two of them. (the third being Jaguar)
