Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone is questioning whether anyone is willing to rescue Super Aguri, saying there are already ‘a lot of people walking around with a begging bowl’.

PKF, joint administrators of the small Japanese team, who plans to sell the business as a going concern, claims to have received ‘several expressions of interest’, according to sportinglife.com.

However, the Formula One chief , who is not prepared to save Super Aguri himself, cannot see how any investor would be willing to spend a fortune in resurrecting the now-defunct team.

‘I didn't want to put in $US100m, which is what was needed,’ he said. ‘For somebody else it might have been okay, but it wasn't for me. If somebody could properly fund it, then it would be good, but there are a lot of people walking around with a begging bowl.’
