Tyrrell for sale?
The Italian media reports that Ken Tyrrell is about to sell a majority part
of his team to Craig Pollock and Julian Jakobi, the business managers of
Jacques Villeneuve.
The Tyrrell team is unwilling to comment to this reports. Jakobi and
Pollock have the backing of British American Tobacco and it is also said
Reynard could get involved.
Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone is reported to be in favor of this
initiative. The Tyrrell team could get more finance this way and improve
their car.
Tyrrell already got more finance through Barbara, the business woman who
wants to keep the memory of Roland Ratzenberger alive.

Tyrrell's website has a press release that explains a bit:
http://www.tyrrellf1.com/p108.htm
But I'd like to hear the full story, too.

Is this the same Barbara who sponsored Simtek? I think I remember seeing
the name covering the Jos Verstappens rear wing at Monaco.

I don't know if this is the *full* story, but I'll have a go...
Barbara Behlau is a very wealthy businesswoman who runs a Monaco-based
company (management consultancy, IIRC) called Barbara MC. She was a
friend of Roland Ratzenberger's, and became his personal sponsor in
1994, providing the money for Roland to get his drive with Simtek.
The Simtek cars carried her "Barbara MC" logo at the top of the engine
covers, just behind the roll hoop. The same logo now adorns the
Tyrrell engine covers.
After Roland was killed, Barbara decided to continue with Simtek in
his memory. She became more involved with the team, increasing her
sponsorship and eventually becoming the President of Simtek Grand Prix
(not "chairman" -- I don't know where the Tyrrell press release got
that title from). Her logo became much larger and moved to the
sidepods, with the top of the engine covers being painted in Roland's
helmet colours for the next several races.
She continued sponsoring/presidenting Simtek through 1994 and 1995,
until everything went horribly wrong in June 1995 and the team went
bust. She would know Jos Verstappen from 1995, when he was one of
"her" drivers at Simtek; I would guess that this is probably where the
link to Tyrrell came from (although that's just a guess).
It's good to see her back in F1, although it felt very strange seeing
her logo on a car again after all this time.
Does that help?

on Barbara.

A good idea IMO. He was a gifted racer.

It was a Simtek. That team doesn't exist anymore; if my memory serves me
right - as it almost never does - they were forced to call it quits in
early '95. The owner was Nick Wirth who is now a race engineer with
Benetton.

According to a story in a dutch newspaper (AD) some time ago, Barbara
phoned Jos Verstappen and offered him some sponsoring money for the
Monaco race. Jos referred her to the Tyrell team and I guess that's
how it all started ...
Same story also mentioned that the sponsoring was only for the Monaco
race. Anyone see the Barbara MC logo in Spain?

Tyrrell have commented on the speculation (though the rumour I heard had
the buyer as being Prodrive, currently in BTCC with Honda, and World
Rallying with Subaru) that they were up for sale, with complete denial.
According to Bob Tyrrell (son of Ken), commercial director for the team,
the Tyrrell family has no immediate desire to sell out its controlling
interest. "We enjoy what we do too much to even consider it, which means
it is all the more surprising that we don't know where these things are
coming from." The article also said that Tyrrell had already turned down
another potential buyer in recent weeks, possibly the Pollock/Jakobi
group.

But who is this Barbara? Can find no mention of her at
www.tyrrellf1.com, although admittedly unable to open the "News" page.

I believe you're wondering about Barbara Behlau (sp.). She was involved
with Simtek in some fashion (owner I think). She has started some kind of
company to keep the memory of the late Roland Ratzenberger alive by
sponsoring Tyrrell.

Yeah, I remember Simtek. Verstappen was driving for them when they
quit. Had something to do with sponsors that didn't pay, I think.
Quite stupid: The first reaction to my question was an e-mail saying
that it was a Sauber, and I thought 'Oh yeah! How could I forget!'
Duh!
More ignorance: was it a Sauber in which Wendlinger had his accident
in Monaco? (And was that the first race weekend after Ratzenberger and
Senna?)
