FIA President Max Mosley
commented that Prodrive was chosen because it has “the
best combination of financial backing, technical capability
and motor sport experience.”
Prodrive Chief Executive
David Richards, former BAR F1 team principal, was delighted
at the prospect of his return to Formula One. He added that Prodrive's entry
was made possible by the FIA's introduction of new regulations for the 2008
season. Richards said: "We are confident that the new regulations
will not only allow Prodrive to be competitive on an affordable
budget, but will also make Formula One more exciting and,
ultimately, even more entertaining for spectators and TV
audiences around the world."
