Prodrive in F1 in 2008

Prodrive look set to unveil plans for an entry into Formula One for the 2008 season, with an announcement possible as early as Wednesday.
Speculation has been rife since the Autosport International show in January that Prodrive boss David Richards - previously involved with the Benetton and BAR teams - was looking to try and put together a Formula One entry of his own, with the man himself admitting to Crash.net Radio that a return to the F1 paddock was a distinct possibility.
"It is very much around how deep your pockets are and the large manufacturers will dominate in those situations; there is no getting away from that," he said at the time. "If the rules change in 2008, as is the goal, then the circumstances could be right for a team like Prodrive to become involved again so we will watch that development very carefully.
"I suspect there would be very few organisations in the world more capable of achieving a result in that area than us."
