Irvine to buy Minardi?

24 July 2005

Eddie Irvine has reportedly turned his attention from buying Jordan to Paul Stoddart's back of the grid Minardi team. The former Jordan, Ferrari and Jaguar racer is apparently set to fly into Hockenheim for talks with the Faenza based team's Aussie owner.

Talks with Jordan fell through when team owner Alex Shnaider demanded from Irvine's Russian associate Roustam Tariko a 'silly' $105m. "Irvine has been in touch with me," Stoddart told The Sun newspaper, "but we can only start serious talks when he puts a $35m deposit on the table."
