Lipp

Heard it on the radio last saturday when Albers was interviewed. Surprised that nobody posted it before...

From the SBS-site:

Albers puts pedal to the metal in Amsterdam

Thursday januar 27th Christijan Albers will present his dutch sponsors to the press. He will do so during the Minardi F1 team pre-launch party at the Cineac in Amsterdam.

We (SBS) can tell you that Christijan will drive a minardi before the press-conference, that will start at 20.00hr This was confirmed by albers management today. So, also for the fans that do not have admission to the pressconference there will be something to see and experience in Amsterdam!

Stoddart confirmed that Kiesa will be the second driver but no contract has been signed yet.

Let me correct that.

Stoddart confermd that the second driver is known. An experienced EuropeanF1 driver who has driven for Minardi before. So Baumgartner, Kiesa or Verstappen (the last one not really likely)

@ Homer, in your list you had Total, is that the petro company?

Selespeed

Totally no total ;)
