Austrian businessman Dietrich Mateschitz, the boss of Red Bull drinks declared he is reconsidering selling his stake in Scuderia Toro Rosso, following Sebastian Vettel's victory at Monza and the team's recent strong form.
Earlier this year, Mateschitz said his desire to sell his 50 per cent of the Toro Rosso team. Fellow Austrian and Former Formula 1 driver Gerhard Berger owns the other 50 per cent.
But after seeing Toro Rosso's competitiveness this year, overshawdowing the Red Bull Racing team, Berger urged Mateschitz to increase his support and Mateschitz admitted this weekend that he is tempted to at least hold on to the team.
"It might happen that we leave everything as it is," Mateschitz told Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten this weekend. "We haven't been informed about the new rules yet and it depends on what is written down there - which parts each team must design and produce individually. We will see if an interested buyer shows up, but it might happen that we do not want to sell at all any more. Right now, I would say nothing is fixed yet."
