  • HaHa, great!
  • Roldan just has no luck at all. If my non existant Italian is to be believed, he dominated until he broke down on the last corner of the last lap. Tuka 3rd, Fausto 6th. Better luck this afternoon...
  • It couldn't be justice if the title were won by a driver who pulled such a stunt as MS did in Monaco qualifying, or by a team who lodged the cynical "protest" over Monza qualifying. Plain fact is that Alonso, barring a particularly cruel twist of f…
  • Now we're motoring! Fantastico! Perhaps som of the gainsayers might come on board now? Maybe not... Presumably Piquetsports had fulfilled it's raison d'etre by getting their man into F1, so they were looking to sell the entry. Now, down to busines…
  • Yeah, Tuka woulda kicked TDWs arse easy. Or Alex.
  • Team unbeaten in two races. Go Roldan!
  • Petrov's pretty good in the wet, so let's hope it dries out for this afternoon.
  • It's Johnny Junior - the Coloni people are running a special Rookie car for promising youngsters at each of the remianing races, and he gets to drive this week.
  • More like the old Minardi by the day...
  • Well at least it's our slowest driver who left. Just a shame about the money.
  • And Cosworth would have been a key part of any hopes there were of F1 retaining a privateer ethos, as opposed to Grandees and Customers setup.
  • You had me worried for a minute there, Steamy. But at Hungary, Tuka was still driving for Vanni-Traini in their Lola Light, so presumably it is they who are selling off chassis.
  • Popular People's Front of Minardi? Or perhaps in the Lease lexicon, Pompous Pricks For Minardi?
  • You're just not reading it right, Lease old chap. It's the non believers what started it, steaming into Victory Road with their don't give a crap about this it's not F1 anyway I only ever cared about F1 so who cares and you'd be a fool to care and w…
  • You're quite right, no aspersions cast your way whatsoever by anyone, I'm sure. Maybe the team are too busy sleeping off the effects of the party to write a press release. At least things have livened up a bit.
  • "If people don't want to pay attention, it doesn't make them any less of a fan?!" You sure are right Rekart, with that sort of logic this argument really ain't going to go anywhere. In the words of Arthur, King of the Britons, "You make me sad." Vi…
  • Where do I start? Look, motor racing, it's like this: You want some fun. You buy or build a car. You put an engine on it. You slam some rubber on. You get a few other guys who want to play as much as you do. You find some nutcase or playboy to driv…
  • Victory! Crushing, Dominant, Sweet Victory! Haha!
  • Minardi - the accountant's view. I guess that we'll have to add Sangiorgio to our list of official Minardi heroes.
  • Wherever Webber ends up, getting out of Williams is the best thing that can happen for him - they are going nowhere, unless there is some sort of miracle turnaround in their technical department. Renault would be better off with Webber alongside Fi…
  • I'll be there, almost certainly both days. I'm full on any racing category 100% Minardi
  • The clock's definitely ticking. Those multi year blue chip sponsorship deals will end one by one, and on current form the team will struggle to replace like for like. With a major infrastructure to support, a team like Williams will find the slipper…
  • We don't need a new GCM just yet, it's only a matter of time before Minarditeam are whipping FMS's arse, in GP2 and Euro3000.
  • Jaguar left because FoMoCo needed too - I'm sure Pitchforth and Purnell would not have described it as voluntary. JYS is a canny operator, and made a killing when the market was high. The difference with Tyrrell and Jordan is that Minardi lives! Li…
  • Reading Massimo's quote, you have to come to the conclusion that they are great staff working for a crap company. But it does at least prove that RedBull remain scared of us, yes?
  • I expected I would slowly become an STR fan by default, but just hasn't happened. They just don't have the undefinable thing that made Minardi Minardi. It's not the name, it's the attitude. At present STR don't have it, though maybe Berger will chan…
  • Does Flav see something we don't? Why keep a driver who needs his engineer to tell him to pull his finger out?
  • That's fantastic. Roll on Silverstone, we can really take it to Fisico's guys now.
  • I hope they can get Tuka Rocha back - he's clearly pretty good, looking at his performances for Minardi at Adria, and in the Lola Light since then. Budapest was a bit disappointing, no podium finishes, but more points I suppose.
  • That must have been some drive by Ricci - stall at the start, pass the whole field, then take the lead on the last lap. Shame Cacares could not hold on, but still the best result so far.
