	Paul Stoddart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paul Stoddart Born May 26th, 1955, is an Australian millionaire and owner of the Minardi Formula One racing team.
		Born in Coburg, Melbourne, Australia, Stoddart's first business was a car dealership; he was a racing patron from the start and entered a number of his own GT cars in various local competitions.
		Stoddart agreed, intending to sell them at a profit to an airline or charter service, but as he got no immediate offers he decided to begin a charter service himself for the express purpose of shuttling gamblers to and from Tasmania, the only Australian state which allowed gambling at the time.

	CCWS-An interview with Paul Stoddart, Keith Wiggins and Steve Johnson
		PAUL STODDART: First of all, to your first question, Harry Muermans is not only a business associate but he's also a good friend, as well and yes, you are correct that there will be some involvement from Harry Muermans.
		PAUL STODDART: Robert, another ex‑Minardi driver, a driver I've worked with and a driver I thought did incredibly well in the second half of '05, and obviously had another chance to do the last three races of the Formula 1 2006 season.
		Paul, when you were in Formula 1, it was sort of part of necessity, but you had quite a history of bringing drivers into the series.

		Stoddart says: “When we landed the 747, there was a full brass band waiting and a red carpet, the premier was standing there.” The arrival was carried on live television, and as they landed there was blanket coverage in every newspaper in Australia.
		Stoddart remembers: “When the rain was coming down in qualifying we had 17th and 21st positions and I remember the track commentator giving me the microphone and saying to me, ‘I suppose you guys want the rain to dry up so Mark can go out and get a better position’.
		Stoddart was surprised as his engineers had stress-tested the rear wings to twice the projected loads of a calculated 450kg to 900kg.

		In 1996 Stoddart's interest in motor racing was rekindled when he bought several F1 cars and, as Tyrrells were easy to get hold of, he acquired 10 of them - some of which are raced in the Boss-sponsored F1 historic series in England.
		Stoddart's relationship with Tyrrell became more of a technical partnership and there were plans for him to build a half-scale rolling-road windtunnel at European Aviation's headquarters at Bournemouth International Airport.
		Stoddart had made no secret of his long-term desire to be a Formula 1 team owner himself and the opportunity came when Gabriele Rumi and other shareholders sold him control of Minardi six weeks prior to the start of the 2001 season.

		Stoddart is a certified 'quack' and must be booted out of F1.How did we go from the fiasco being blamed on Michelin and their lack of tyre development to being a Ferrari problem.
		Paul Stoddart doesn't seem to care that it's Michelin's failures, and not so much the politics or personal feelings, that caused the USGP to become a farce.
		Stoddart’s suggestion that "the teams conduct themselves in the spirit of providing an entertaining race for the good of Formula One" is about as naive as asking the Michelin drivers to slow down in turn 13.

		Stoddart and his Minardi team's mechanics had been working until 5 o'clock that morning to make the team's cars comply with 2005 formula one regulations so they could participate in the race.
		Stoddart landed his first part-time job at the age of eight and left school at 14 to "get into the real world and see what I could make of it".
		While Stoddart is an unknown quantity to many in the Australian business community, those who think him too small to survive in the local aviation market or not wily enough to take on the established players may be forced to eat their words.

		I have to agree with Stoddart on this one.
		The idea is not to force Stoddart to either pay $10m for an engine supplier he doesn't want to work with or pay $20m and more for others he is interested in, but rather to find a price affordable by Minardi, Jordan and Sauber that the seven F1 engine manufacturers would commit to.
		Stoddart (unlike Jordan) won't let the big boys bend him over, he stands up for what he believes is right.

	Minardi cars locked out as practice begins - 03/04/05
		Minardi owner Paul Stoddart said he was told by FIA president Max Mosely that if all teams agreed to the relaxation for the smallest of the 10, Minardi could compete in the first three races -- starting Sunday with the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
		Stoddart, who doesn't have the time or track-tested parts to make the car conform, said he'd appeal the stewards' decision and still hoped to put a car on the track for qualifying Saturday.
		Stoddart got Ferrari to agree after missing Friday's first practice session and waited outside the stewards' room with champagne, thinking his cars would be allowed onto the track for the second practice session.

		Paul Stoddart: It’s a little bit more than that, but it’s probably simpler to put it in terms that we, the teams, share 23 percent of the Formula One cake and we then divide that disproportionately amongst ourselves, so when people talk about an 18th or 19th race there is a cost to the teams.
		Paul Stoddart: I think if you are wondering why David and I and perhaps these other gentlemen seem a little bit evasive on the question, the answer is we don’t know how much each of the races contribute.

		Stoddart says it is now difficult to recall exactly how much he paid for the team as it involved a cash payment to Rumi of US$9 million, his taking responsibility for the team’s US$8 million debts and also taking out a loan to pay off the US$12 million overdraft with an Italian bank.
		Stoddart admits he didn’t finish paying for the team until five years later, when the loan to pay off the overdraft was finally retired after he sold the team to Red Bull.
