Richards disappointed with FIA's decision

Prodrive chairman David Richards was naturally disappointed to hear that Prodrive has not been included in the entry list for the 2010 Formula One World Championship. The former BAR team boss will remain prepared for F1 though if an opportunity comes along again.

Speaking about the FIA announcement David Richards said: "We are naturally disappointed by the FIA's decision not to include Prodrive in the preliminary entry list for 2010 as we believe we have the resources and set-up to be competitive in Formula One and would make a positive contribution to the sport.

"We will wait to see how things develop in the next week, up to the 19th June deadline set by the FIA and we remain prepared and ready to implement our plans should the circumstances allow. As we have seen before, there are quite often many twists and turns in Formula One.

"However, this weekend our attention is one hundred percent focused on our Aston Martin team at Le Mans. For the first time we are challenging for outright victory with a three-car line-up, following two consecutive GT1 class wins, on the 50th anniversary of Aston Martin's historic 1959 win at the circuit de La Sarthe."
