Sir Richard Branson admitted his growing interest in introducing his Virgin brand into Formula 1, but he proposes to buy the Honda team only under certain conditions.<\/p>\n
Through BBC Radio Four, the British billionaire was asked a question about whether his company would be willing to save the Brackley team, which decided to withdraw from Formula 1 several weeks ago.<\/p>\n
He did not confirm the link, but it seems that certain conditions will need to be met for an agreement to be reached.<\/p>\n
\u00ab We need to be sure that a new team can make ends meet. Similarly, we would like to be sure that Formula 1 is the champion in green technology. \u00bb<\/p>\n
According to Forbes, Branson is the 236th richest person in the world.<\/p>\n
He welcomed Ecclestone’s remarks earlier this week, stating that Branson is exactly the kind of person F1 is looking for.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I am delighted with what he said and subject to a few conditions, I might confirm his words, \u00bb said Branson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
