Minardi-Verkauf an Red Bull endgültig in trockenen Tüchern
30. September 2005 - 16:28 Uhr …
Faenza will stay until 2008 as Grandprix.com indicates/speculates...
once buying a chassis etc. is feasible and more B-teams are "cloned" by McLaren etc. we will have to see...if Red Bull needs to cut costs in the future, Faenza may go away quickly…
Well, the name is not definitive...gave us a little more time to get going and react :)
Mateschitz, however, said the Minardi name was likely to disappear, and that the new team would have the word 'rookie' in their name.
Reaction is discussed …
Maybe "fans" from Palermo showed up with black Benz cars and baseball bats at the Red Bull HQ :)
Edit: Any online links to other news outlets pcking this up ?

Tas... I had hoped that some credit to GCM of PS or at least Minardi for his F1 break would have come to light...
Same here...a quote from Alonso or a thank you regarding Minardi would have been wonderful PR for the petition !
Maybe in the Japan…
PS: You signed the wrong contract in Belgium, mate...
The real one is in this black envelope and Eddie Irvine will come and sign it off in 5 minutes...unless you tell Didi to add some serious mullah.

I think it was TheDriver who posted the that the entire FIA survey for F1 fans got 93'000 feedbacks only.
Let's compare:
We collected close to 15'000 signatures in about 10 days for a single team.
Let's keep it up and show Red Bull a lot of peopl…
Sorry, but all the "It would be wrong. It would be playing with names... "
and especially the "it wouldn't be good for anyone"
makes me feel sick.
That's not the real reason.
Her PR speak shortened- that's just my frank view.

Posted this in the petition forum , but fits the war cry thread...

Minardi are there to race; Red Bull exists just to sell fizzy drinks.

This is from a feedback on itv-f1
Yes, mine are too strong....these were just sent privately for use if the situation gets worse.
Sorry, but I just read that the Austrian football club supporters gave up fighting the Red Bull PR machine after 5 months, so I was in a dire mood:

I thought about some too and sent them to RJ...
Maybe some are too strongly worded at the moment
But can be apllied later when the situation gets worse as appropriate...

Great :)
Will add this to the war list immediately...hell, I wanted to go to bed 2 hours ago.
We really need to counter the myths:
- Many people I encountered on the boards have that buying a team automatically means changing its name. (I will …
Sorry.did I mention anything about a NON peaceful protest.
Handing out flyers or putting up a poster IS a protest.
Got you now :), sorry if I misunderstoof you before.
No hard feelings..
Anyway, at the auction, there could be people with influen…
What did you mean with "protest "?
I don't know UK laws, but wouldn't it be possible to hand out flyers (in a friendly manner) or have a poster up by the road as long as it's still on PUBLIC ground ?
Added the link to the War plan :)
As I encountered myself today when posting, we always get the same answers
"Backmarkers"
"Why is Minardi worth saving"
bla bla.
Therefore, I think we need an FAQ to list Minardi achievements.
Also, we need to…
Yes, they have clear well-defined goals.
The petition text is the goal (for the moment) I guess...
RJ ?
If I could add something, it might be that Red Bull keeps the promise to stay in Faenza (they had different reactions / press statements about…
Thank you Stan :)
Now what bothers is the other Minardi fan sites...most of them still not updated.
Let's get them out of the shock state and or hibernation and link to the petition.

What about "Bild" , sorry I was busy all day with work...couldn't check the news.
Is someone trying with "Bild" or "Bild am Sonntag" ?
Any German members ? Homer ?
