Stoddart applies for an entry for 2008

Paul Stoddart says that he is going to come back to F1 in 2008 and has submitted an entry in the name of European Minardi F1 Team Ltd. The team will presumably be based in the team's old premises in Ledbury as the Italian base was sold to Red Bull at the end of last year.

It remains to be seen whether the entry will be accepted but that will not be known until the FIA has studied the various applications made before the entries close on Friday.
