Additions:
It would be wrong to call the 1998 season a very successful one. However it was the first step into a new era for the Minardi team. The most important thing was (next to the arrival of the Ford [[Cosworth]] V10) the return of [[BrunnerGustav Gustav Brunner]]. He had worked with [[Ferrari]] for 4 years and had already been with the Minardi team in 1992. He started immediately with the design of the [[M01]] (the '99 car). In addition to that, the factory in [[Faenza]] was almost doubled in size. The drivers were the very young [[TueroEsteban Esteban Tuero]] from Argentina and the fast [[NakanoShinji Shinji Nakano]] from Japan. Tuero was, due to his age and his reckless driving style, very popular with lots of fans and the media. RTL Germany for example dedicated a part of their F1 TV show to him (letting him do all kinds of funny things like sticking an Austrian motorway vignette on his car during the Austrian GP).
