"We'll start this year with the '04 car and the '04 engine, basically because, when you compete on the sort of budgets Minardi has at its disposal, you can't afford to build twin cars in parallel while deciding on which way the regulations might go,…
He may be only ".6 off the pace" but it's off the pace of a Toymotor driven by J. Trulli in his first time in the car.
I think he is taking it easy after the crash yesterday.
I have just got a place to stay with a mate in St Kilda close to the track. Am in the process of trying to find flights, will have to be Virgin/Pacific Blue which means all sorts of dodgy connections. Looking to get seats on the main straight (same …
Glad to hear that all the people here are OK.
That is one hell of a story Facty, you are a very lucky man.
I was in Bangkok when news came through and that is the closest I ever want to be to one of those things.
It maybe that CA's sponsors (who ever they are) did not have the cash to front up on the spot (I suspect this was a condition from PS).
So they have taken out a bank loan, however it would appear as if they (the sponsors) also do not have the credi…
The levels of a gas linked to cancer have plummeted in bars and on the breath of pub patrons since new smoking laws took effect.
Tobacco researcher Murray Laugesen said he has been surprised by just how much the level of gases linked to second-hand…
Dude the nose, front wing is different.
The side pods are not as high on the Wilux car and the engine cover intake is a triangle not round like the PS03.
Team founder, Gian Carlo Minardi, Financial Director, Stefano Sangiorgi, and Technical Director, Gabriele Tredozi, willingly gave up part of their weekend after student, Andrea Bonesi, whose final degree thesis concerns the organisation of the Minar…
The banks don't want to run F1, they want to sell. But what good is selling 75% when you can't control anything with it, hence the current legal action.
The only real question is who will they sell too BE or GPWC.
Sign up to mr Excellent's F1 (the devil you know), the racing continues and everybody gets about $50M.
Else wait for the car makers to ether start their own series (unknown startup costs), or buy SPEED from the banks (the banks won't want to lose m…
Feel free to just leave us hanging.
Man, I hate the off seaeson, you never know when things are going to happen or when news is going to break, for Minardi at least.
Also f1-live is hardly the most reliable site. So I'd wait till you hear it from TOMS before getting too excited.
Still if it is true then it's very positive.
The commentator said that he could not imagine Michael Schumacher behaving in such a way.
The Schumacher Bros and Panis got trashed after the 2003 season in Japan and threw a fridge out a window, then took a forklift for a spin.
Their doing a hack job just like Minardi. The only difference will be the engine and Minardi's car is only for the first three races. I can't imagine ether car being competetive.
I'll give you the link, but I won't post the pic.

There was a better one, but I had to take it down when our little team was getting their name in the papers, long story don't ask.
'Massive' aero loss - Minardi
Running an interim 2005 aero package resulted in a 'massive' loss of downforce and lap time, the struggling Minardi team reported.
F1 principal Paul Stoddart has asked, so far unsuccessfully, for the unanimous suppo…
I have to say that I'm surprised that Albers decided to test today. It may have been that as a thank you for driving the 2-seater the team offered a day's testing of the race car, although this seems unlikely.
Hopfully he is starting to think his …
