Honda is willing to accept below market value to give the team a future. That being said it's not so much about buying assets as much as being able to fund the team throughout the season. Prodrive boss David Richards has apparently been approached by two investors looking at the team, the Dubai based Magma Group, which was close to buying Super Aguri last season but withdrew causing the team to fold. And another group headed by Carlin Motorsports founder Trevor Carlin. Prodrive's chances of getting into F1 might not be dead after all. Though it will be interesting because before Richards was fired and replaced by Honda CEO Nick Fry, he and Jensen Button did not enjoy the best of relationships, and Brawn wants to keep Jensen on.
