has engine deal in place with cosworth, still has the cars from last season, has facilites and the test team.
sounds good
i took you saying that as if stoddart still had ownership of all the old minardi stuff... either way, im not gonna .. have an explosion hopefully it's clarified now for you with the situation, and hopefully now we can all stop bitching and arguing over poop, and start talking about the fucking gp!
although i guess friday practice doesnt reflect all too well what's gonna happen tommorow and sunday, but I suppose can give us some idea of the form...

No, what he said is that Stoddart has "facilities", a "test team" and "cars".
Paul Stoddart collects F1 cars, he was the one that owned and then sold the 2002 Arrows cars to Aguri for them to use this year. He apparently has quite a collection of F1 cars from over the years so he probably does still have the cars from last year floating around. He also owns a racing team in minor seires I think, so thats his facilities and drivers.
V10s may have an advantage, but i don't think its not enough to make a major difference to the results of that team. The V8s are approaching the power levels of the old V10s. I don't doubt that the V10s have a torque advantage, but if they were to take Cosworths current V8 (which I agree they should, it is quite ridiculous that they continue using restricted V10s when a suitable V8 from the saem manufacturer is available) I don't think there would be any/much difference to their results.
