The Midland Formula One team has been sold to Dutch sportscar manufacturer Spyker, it was confirmed late on Saturday in Monza. The deal, due to be finalized by the end of this month, will see the Silverstone-based squad renamed as Spyker MF1 Racing.
Colin Kolles is to stay on as team principal, with Dutch businessman Michiel Mol assuming the role of Director of Formula One Racing. They will be joined by former Toyota and Jordan technical director Mike Gascoyne, who will become Chief Technology Officer from the start of November.
The Spyker brand values fit perfectly with F1 and my vision. I look forward to working together with Victor Muller. What he achieved by reintroducing the most famous Dutch car manufacturer brand is impressive. F1 will help to make Spyker even more credible and successful. However, we are not in F1 to be in F1. We are in F1 to win.
Mike Gascoyne joining us is a milestone and the ultimate proof of our ambitions. Together with Colin Kolles he will be able to build a winning team. Hopefully it will not take too long before we hear the Dutch anthem in Formula One for the first time ever. I have a new challenge and nothing is impossible".
