With Slim having so much money and an interest in F1, such a rumour was bound to come up sooner or later. While he may not be the outright buyer, it would not suprise me to see Slim involved with the current/past Honda team in some capacity.

I had a funny feeling this was media fluff, but I also can’t help think that Slim is somehow involved in Honda F1’s future. They only denied BUYING the team but no denying of SPONSORING the team (again, pure speculation). The surrounding story seemed a bit too detailed to be ALL made up. My ideal scenario would be a Prodive team run by Richards and the main sponsor being Telmex. I always hated Nick Fry, since he ousted David Richards from BAR but even more so since the Super Aguri incident. If only we could vote on the future of Honda.
