Go go Stoddart!

Everybody loves an underdog, but in Paul Stoddart you'll find more than that. He's one determined, tenacious and tough SOB!! Here he is, running Minardi, which somehow --miraculously, wonderfully -- continues to be able to find the cash to race in F1 without ever scoring a win... He's sunk his own cash & heart into this team, and is known for giving numerous guys their break into the pinnacle of racing (Alonso comes to mind).

But, this guy not only has the balls to keep coming back for more action at the back of the pack, he also is one of the VERY few team owners/principals to voice his opinion about the current state of F1 and the problems it's facing. Are there others, in fact? He provides an uncanny insight into the way personal feuds and politics are on the verge of sinking one of the most popular sports in the world into an ice age, one from which it may never recover. So, here's to you and the size of your gonads, Paul... I admire your belief and conviction to stand up and to speak out for what you believe is right.
