    haha gun! :D
  • Minardus
    WOW!!!!!!

    A little who's who maybe?
    I know the person on the right is Dr Spin.
  • forzaminardi
    it's on the front page

    Massimo Rivola (lost quite some weight) Team Manager/Sporting Director and Richard Wren, Head of engines dept.
  • Minardus
    So THAT's Massimo.

    I always thought he would be the small fellow with the glasses and the goatee and black hair that we always see around the cars !!
  • forzaminardi
    you mean tilley?
  • TheDriver
    Gotta hand it to the crab, great pictures. Thanks!

    ... and a special thank you for the team for this gesture. I reckon we all appreciate it. Even Matt, who is secretly lurking in the shadows.
  • forzaminardi
    it's awesome isn't it? *sniff*
  • TheDriver
    I bet TOIT wouldn't do something like this!

    Is Tilley the guy in the middle?
  • forzaminardi
    no, the one with the headphones in his neck
  • Homer
    That's Tilley? Interesting. And who is the guy in the middle? I see him very often on pictures, thought first that it might be Tredozi...
  • forzaminardi
    no, I don't know who he is, it's not tredozi

    this

    is tredozi
  • Homer
    Yeah, I know, that's why I wrote "I thought it might be Tredozi.

  • Minardus
    The mystery man inthe middleis the oneI thought was Massimo.
    I always see himaround the cars and talking to the drivers.
    I suppose he must be the chief engineer or something ?!?!
  • Dr_Spin
    That's Massimo (on the other side of the pic with Richard and me) and he assured us we should have the PS05 for Imola.

    Stoddie and I watched the qualifying with the four former Minardi drivers filling up the front rows.

    Paul takes some genuine pride and pleasure in seeing the guys succeed.

    He is also getting quite a lot of support for his stand on the regulations. I've said it before that I admire the guy, and know it takes guts to stick up for your principles.

    It must be obvious to all that running a single set of tyres for qualifying and race isn't doing anything for safety. What do the other changes add to the race?

    Although I was pleased to see Alonso win a hard hot race, to me Sepang 05 wasn't as interesting as F1 should be. Nice to see Ferrari off the front and looking pretty ordinary.

    It was bloody hot for us spectators too, and the haze didn't help.

    My digital camera batteries died before the race so I'll have to wait for the CD from the film. Tomorrw I'll post hopefully.

    No-one looks cooler than Tilley! :cool:
  • MinardiP1
    He looks like a thinner, younger, Peter Jackson with that hair and lack-of-a-shave look. :hehe:

  • MinardiP1
    And is KL always THAT poluted? I was thinking there must have been bushfires around, but apparently not.
  • forzaminardi
    there were, sepang is next to the airport (actually when you leave the entrance hall you can see the grand stands of the F1 circuit) so it's nowhere near anything that could produce that much pollution. must have been a combination of the haze and the usual "slash and burn" in Indonesia
  • Dr_Spin
    The haze was quite widespread.
    I had it all the way back to KL and couldn't really pin-point where it was coming from.

    Could have been from Indonesia, although it didn't seem to worry the jets. They were above it, I guess.

    Sound like you all saw more of the action than I did from trackside and the stands.

    Spin
  • Lease
    Well done Fifi and Spin.

  • MCSF
    Remember people - Massimo taking that pics for us is roughly the equivalent of Todt or Dennis or Flav doing the same for a group of fans.

    Not likely.

    FORZA MINARDI
  • MCSF
    BTW- Spin. Thaks for wearing your MCSF hat!
  • FactyCrab
    mcsf aka emmet,

    massimo sent his personal regards to you and your members.

    sorry, just remembered....must be alzheimers or something...
  • MCSF
    Ahhhh - he still loves us!

    He is one of the nicest people I have ever met. races - or raced some super bike in a testing role for Suzuki I think....not sure of the manufacturer.

    Facty/Spin - both of you get huge marks in Minardi fandom.
  • Biker
    Nice nice nice :D
  • Minardus
    So, nobody knows the name of the middle guy in the pic with Tilley and Albers ??????????
