That's why I wrote "outpaced", during the weekend he was faster more than occasionaly.

Albers outpaced Monteiro, Rosberg outraced Webber, Massa kept up with Schu's pace, just to mention this race (and not the winter testing). I mean, all new boys could get grips with their new cars quickly. The only one that couldn't... the always com…
Boys boys:
I only have one point: people are complaining about detuned v10's I guess since even before this regulations were published. So why the hell they didn't run V10's themselves, if it is so good? They could have tried it back in the middle …
I agree. But that's the point, even with this blind strategy, the car got much better through the season (well, it couldn't get worst, anyway). I thought this one was a little bit different from its predecessors, but you guys know those details much…
Handy? If I'm not mistaken in 2002 Minardi had the worst worst worst engine ever (2 years old Cosworths that were ordinary even in 2000, Stewart used it then, it was underpowered and unrealiable. Two years after it was also way heavier than the rest…
I agree, but personally I do not buy much this spirit of the law thing. Look, they just made the law, it's a bit stupid start talking about the spirit of the law two days after it's written. Write it rightaway in its own spirit, damn!
And, Faenza h…
I cannot agree that the RB01 is miles ahead of the PS05. Last year, it ran with better tyres, usually a better engine and drivers who previously knew the track. This things add up to seconds. Also it had much much more testing time, including frid…
I guess these days FIA is looking more seriously to chassis buyout. It is been repeated in the media that Aguri-Honda cannot use the BAR chassis and, less often, that Minardi cannot use the RB01. I'm not sure if they can simply walkover all this. T…
The idea of keep calling the team Minardi, even if Minardi Toro Rosso, is a great one and should not be forgotten.
To be honest, I guess that this Toro Rosso thing has something to do with the petition and all the noise we have done. Using an Itali…
Anyway, the most important problem at the moment is the name...and yes, I'm still in panic to react quickly, see the petition forum for details...
hmmmm....
To be honest what I fear the most is not the name, but this 'someone else's old chassis'…
Is it so?
A season for Minardi never seems to go down so smooth and planned. We see a lot of ups and downs and changes of direction that really makes us think that decision are taken by the week. Add to that new sponsors sometimes showing up, etc.

Why is it strange? its just business as per normal, similiar to what jaguar team was going through when the 'for sale' sign was put out by Ford.
The point is, if the sale is done, and the price fixed, you do not need to invest anymore (in a financ…
But don´t you all agree that it is kind of strange that, just before, during negotiations, and just after the sell, the team (or better, PS) kept investing with new parts, tests, third car, etc?
Now that.
I´ll tell you what. For some weeks I´m feeling that this whole deal may be a hoax. It coincides with a good improve in performance by Minardi (and there could be no RB money playing already), calls a lot of media attention and tells the …
I just read a (portughese translation of) a Liuzzi interview were he said they still don't know, between he and Klien, who will be on Red Bull and who will be on Minardi. One of this two I can support, but one of this two AND Speed is really going d…
Maybe here there's another breach to the Minardi guerila to explore. Two teams under the same ownership, in principle, could have strange sporting consequences. If this had happen up the grid, there would be a lot of strong words against the deal.
…
I hope you allow me on that discussion. There's another thing about this sale which I think it' s kind of scary.
if you look a this season, Minardi started the year 6 seconds behind RedBull Racing. Now it is less than one, with a worst engine, wor…
Firstly a Welcome to Nuvolari. I hope that someone with the brazenness to use a moniker that I can say only in hushed tones, after crossing myself 3 times and genuflecting at a potrait of Il montavante volante, has a serious knowledge of motorsport…
Getting all the former Minardi drivers to sign is great, but I guess that the ones currently in the grid should be the focus.
As people has said, TDTSNBN iis not interestes in history, this argument is silent to them. They keep saying things like …
Hi everyone!
Here's new blood to the enemy to spill.
I never posted anything but I'm an old visitor. In face of the new threat, I guess, as others have put, that only comercial arguments would reach the ears of TDTSNBN. In that sense, I've read on…
