		Craig first will be going through the announcement he wants to make today and he will be followed by the new driver who will make a few remarks of his own, and after that, we will open the floor to questions.
		CRAIG POLLOCK: Well, we have made a concerted decision that we are definitely starting off with a one-car team because of the time frame that I was given to set the team up.
		CRAIG POLLOCK: Well, what we are doing is the company has been capitalized to a level where we can keep the company running for a sufficient amount of time, a very good amount of time without sponsorship.

	Pollock's Reality Check
		However, BAR Holdings, of which Pollock is a key player on the board, introduced a new face as non-executive chairman with Ken Clarke, a former chancellor of the exchequer with the British government installed at the helm.
		Pollock's troubles in his attempts to develop BAR as a potential force in Formula One have been well documented.
		Pollock knows that the rivalry with Jordan could damage the development of BAR and he promised that his sights, and those of everybody involved in the team, will be set higher than bettering Jordan.

		Craig Pollock: I created BAR, so of course there was a lot of emotion, and when we did it, we seriously believed we could achieve results in a couple of years.
		Craig Pollock: Jacques has said the politics have been going on inside this team since Day One and there will always be politics inside a team.
		Craig Pollock: He has to get the right drive and he is literally the only driver who has beaten Michael Schumacher in Michael Schumacher's career and he merits good equipment round about him.

	JAX TRAX - Craig Pollock Backs Richards' Cuts
		Former BAR boss Craig Pollock has said that present incumbent Dave Richards was right to axe around 15% of the BAR team - and says that he wished he could have made a similar move last year.
		Pollock, who remains Jacques Villeneuve's manager, was replaced by Richards as BAR's team boss at the end of 2001.
		And now Pollock has backed those decisions, saying that he would have acted in a similar way when he was boss if he had been allowed to.

		As wife of British American Racing boss Craig Pollock, it is Barbara who deserves much of the credit for keeping him on track during what she describes as the 'humiliating' experience of launching the team three years ago.
		Pollock chopped and changed jobs in that period as he decided whether he wanted to make a career as a teacher or do something different.
		Craig always said to me he wanted to be the owner, not just one of the key people.

	F1 News - Grandprix.com
		There are rumors that Craig Pollock could be looking at the possibility of coming back to Formula 1 to revive the troubled Jordan team.
		Pollock is a logical choice to do that and although he built up huge debts while at BAR and was eventually pushed out of the management of the team, he should have learned from his mistakes.
		It should be noted however that up to now Pollock has not shown much desire to invest his own money in running teams and so would probably look for a backer, trading his management skills to gain equity in a new organization.

		By then Pollock has managed to convince British American Tobacco's sponsorship boss Tom Moser to bankroll a Formula 1 team and British American Racing was established.

		From 1998 to 1999, Pollock built a team from scratch, securing the financing through British American Tobacco, finding the engine and landing the driver needed to compete in the greatest racing show on the planet: Jacques Villeneuve, his client.

		The Canadian is a close friend of Pollock, who used to be his manager and, before that, his ski instructor when Villeneuve was at school in Switzerland.

		Reynard denied that the decision to fire Pollock would be his but as a member of the board he would have a casting vote and it seemed fairly obvious which way his inclination lay.
		Pollock meanwhile reaffirmed his bond with his protégé, expressing admiration for the fact that he had signed with the unproven BAR team as a sign of confidence in his abilities as a manager.
		Pollock, whilst aware of a possibly swift boardroom lynching party, maintains that he was comfortable with his position.

	craig pollock quits - Linksheaven F1 Forum
		Pollock made a very bad start in clashing with FIA first and then getting "external" powers (a court) inside F1.
		If Pollock had come out and said that they were going to prop up the grid for their first 5 years whereupon they'd then consider scoring a single point they would STILL today be in the exact same position as they are now.
		I think Pollock is being convicted unfairly simply because he was a little too over-optimistic.

		Pollock has a shyness and studied humility that do not inspire trust, and Villeneuve is hard to get to know.
		Pollock’s head is full of deals; he wants to make the millions he missed out on earlier in his career, when he failed to take a stake in the organisation for which Villeneuve drove in America.
		Pollock is so open in his dealings that it is impossible not to be won over.

		It was here that he met Craig Pollock, a teacher and ski instructor.
		His relative lack of success again in 2002, combined with the sacking of Craig Pollock during the season, increased speculation about Jacques' retirement but he committed himself to another season with British American Racing and finished a disappointing 15th in the championship.
		Pollock's replacement, David Richards, deemed Jacques a drain on the finances of the team and announced that Honda's favourite son Takuma Sato would be driving alongside Jenson Button for the 2004 season leaving Jacques without a seat.

		While no official offer was on the table, Pollock did admit that an informal discussion took place at the Canadian Grand Prix in which Player's were told that Villeneuve's BAR contract restricted any serious negotiation.

		While Pollock is confident to point out many of his coups, he is, to his credit, candid enough to point out that peaks come with valleys, and nowhere more so than in business, sports, and the world of open-wheel auto racing.
		At the time, however, Pollock knew little about the young man, other than the fact that his father was the late, great, Ferrari driver, Gilles Villeneuve.
		It was not the young Villeneuve's last name that convinced Pollock; au contraire, it was Jacques' individuality, intelligence and boldness that stood out: "Jacques was extremely intelligent in school and was always a talented sportsman, he had character and an incredible physical and mental talent." So the risk at the time was great, but manageable.

		Pollock was the team's principal and was able to lure World Champion Jacques Villeneuve away from Williams for the 1999 season with a lucrative contract.
