The Future of ForzaMinardi.com
Dear All
Now I can be more or less sure that only people who should read it, actually read it here’s my following unofficial official-statement regarding the future of this very site.
Five years I’ve been taking care of this site, updating or monitoring it wherever I was, whatever I did. The site and I guess you people as an integral part of it, have become a part of my everyday routine and I guess I can say this without sounding fake.
However, things don’t last forever and I do realise that, especially now Red Bull seem to be changing the name of our beloved team.
Red Bull haven’t got back to me yet regarding the petition but I’d say I wait for another week before getting really pissed off about their complete lack of consideration, as the people in charge have been to the other end of world last weekend.
However I have to say that the fact that they have even registered ForzaToroRosso.com (AS IF!!) is too clear an indication that they don’t plan to retain Minardi as an F1 brand.
This renders this place obsolete one would think and I have spent all of the last week pondering what to do with ForzaMinardi.com. It is pretty clear to me, that Minardi’s new owners will not supply me with any kind of press information or pictures. Besides I have very little intention to report on Squadra Toro Rosso anyway.
So why continue this place if the team, or what has become of it, doesn’t want you to?
Because this place will be the last thing to remind us all of the great team and the great legacy that once was.
The new site will continue to have this message board as its centre and I’ll try to improve the static sections of the site such as the history section, the Minardiclopeadia etc.
Moreover, this site should become the centre of a movement that, at as many races as possible, should draw attention to the fact that the name Minardi will be greatly missed in F1. Action, not just words.
I hope that most of you will stay faithful to this site so we can continue to be the greatest community F1 has ever had!
ForzaMinardi.com – The keepers of the name
All the best

FORZA MINARDI
SEMPRE MINARDI
What do you mean by 'new site'?
Minardi lives in our hearts and I would never dream of wearing another team shirt. Ever.
Forza Minardi and Forza RJ.
You, Gilles and GCM!!!!
:D:D:D:D
Count on me! From wherever they'll send me next, I will always be on this site!!;)
Minardi fuer immer!
Could write about 10 pages now, but I think i can express it with one single word:
FORZA!
I foresee a mighty debate over months and years as to whether or not this new MinardiSTR entity is or is not the true heir to the Minardi inheritance. A bit like the debate that never quite got resolved over Stoddart...we all hate him now, of course.
Some will take a liking to the new team, some will curse it's very existence, many will be ambivalent, and others will be clueless. But I hope many of the characters round here do hang around. You can't get better F1 debate anywhere else.
FORZA RJ
FORZA THE PEOPLE WHO FREQUENT THIS BOARD!
I feel over the past few years you lot have become friends, Iv had the pleasure of meeting some of you and sharing the brilliant event that was minardifest 05.
I shall still wear my shirts with pride!!
Forza Everyone Here!
We can still support the crew of Minardi, but screw the new management.
May GCM start a new Minardi in 2008 and steal his crew from STR!
Thanks RJ !!!!
