However, contrary to reports Pitpass can reveal that it was Honda who approached the Virgin Group, not the other way round.
Talking to Pitpass' business reporter Chris Sylt, Will Whitehorn, Virgin Group's Brand Development and Corporate Affairs Director, when asked whether Sir Richard Branson would be interested in F1, said: "I don't think Sir Richard would be interested in all honesty as he has only been to a handful of F1 GPs and Virgin have never been a sponsor in that field."
When asked whether there is any truth in the rumours that Virgin is looking at buying the Honda F1 team, Whitehorn replied: "I don't think much apart from the fact that I believe Virgin Group was approached by Honda recently. I doubt the appetite will be that enormous given that Virgin recently took over sponsorship of the London marathon."
