    5-6 seconds off the pace but im sure we will improve the setup.

    Nissany is 12 seconds down, I wonder if he'll get a race seat at TOIT if MS retires? ;)
  • MinardiSquad
    What happend to Chris, he only drove the last minutes of the session and in the beginning there was a stop sign in his information lap, i hope its not his engine!
  • Minardus
    On Europsport live timing there was a list with drivers that use a new engine this weekend.
    Doornbos was on that list !!

    Question: does DBos continue the count of 2 weekends for the enginechange that Friesacher used or does he get a new count?????

    Because, if he has a new count, then he only used his engine 1 weekend and changed it now, which means he will start last on the grid on Sunday !!
  • Selespeed
    I think that engine is more 'car-related' then 'driver-related', so he'll be fine.
  • Minardus
    I'm not so sure about the engine being car related, because there was a GP this season where Sato broke his car.
    The pitcrew changed his engine to the spare car and sent him back out !!!!!!!
  • Selespeed
    ok, so the engine, is in fact engine ralated. Nothing to worry about.
  • FlyingPanda
    I'm not so sure about the engine being car related, because there was a GP this season where Sato broke his car.

    At Canada, they replaced the gearbox in the middle of the race and sent him back out. Not the engine.

    I'm certain that the one-engine-for-two-races rule applies to the car, regardless of the driver.
    Otherwise, if a driver swapped teams between races, he'd have to take that engine with him... Can you imagine Renault being forced to somehow make a Ferrari engine fit into one oif their cars for a single race to avoid the penalty if they were to poach Schumacher halfway thought the season? :P
  • JumpeySpyder
    CA & RD back on track

    They both move ahead of the jordans:-


    Doornbos 1:26:286
    Albers 1:26:467
    Monteiro 1:26:501
    Karthikeyan 1:26:714
  • MinardiP1
    Schumacher (M) has stopped on the circuit! :o :D
  • Carthorse
    Can anyone suggest the best (free) live timing to look at. The one I usually use seems to be having problems.
  • MinardiP1
    formula1.com
  • JumpeySpyder
    Official live timing is quickest but you need java and registration

    I also use :-

    For extra info
  • JumpeySpyder
    Karthikeyan and montiero have moved ahead of the Minardis :(

    But Albers has managed a 1:24:093 :D:D:D

    Doornbos 1:23:670

    Both minardis over a second ahead of the yellows
    and just tenths from Massa, sat & Villeneurve
  • Selespeed
    Doornbos rocks! :cool:
  • inkwazi
    Seeing that the RBR have the upgraded Cosworth engine, Sould comparisions not be made between Minardi and RBR rather than the Massa, Sato and Villeneuve

    Nice to see the cars creeping closer hopefully Saturday results in a little more improvement. Doornbos has settled into the new car very quickly.

    Nissany didn't drive.
  • FlyingPanda
    Chanoch did not go out during the second session image
  • Lease
    Otherwise, if a driver swapped teams between races, he'd have to take that engine with him...
    Ah, so that's why Doorknobs is so quick. There's a Toyota in the back!
  • JumpeySpyder
    Chanoch did not go out during the second session image
    I believe he spun the car in practice session 1 - maybe he did some damage.:spank:
  • Carthorse
    Thanks for the steers on live timing- great result as well!!
  • Carthorse
    Isn't Paul Stoddart doing a great job by the way.
  • salvo
    Excellent, I'd say.
    Dornboos was very quick, 1tenth from Villeneuve massa and sato. The jhordans are against on the back. We're improving more and more. I wish there wasn't any Indianapolis, we eould have finished ninteh in the championship I guess.
  • Carthorse
    Bridgestone seem to have a better tire here. TOIT are closer to the front and we might even compete with the Michelin backmarkers.
  • MinardiSquad
    Sad that Albers was blocked by Kiesa in his fastest lap or maybe else he would stay ahead of Massa cause he was in the first two sektors faster then Doornbos, Both Minardi's did well today, Doornbos is beter then Friesacher i think
  • Rime
    I wonder with which excuses TRDW will come up?
  • MinardiSquad
    Why excuses???
    Because the fact that he is a little slower then RD today?
    How many time Friesacher was faster in Friday free practise and Albers destroyed him in saturday quali:hehe:
    I know you don't like Chris, but keep it clean!
  • Rime
    Let's just wait and see...
  • minardirule
    Both have done a good job today:D:D

    Good times, closer to the front and in front of the Jordans to boot!!!

    I wonder how much useful info our 3rd chassis got us?
  • Minardus
    The Indian is getting concerned about our progress:
    Jordan driver Narain Karthikeyan is concerned by the progress Minardi has been making with its new car, while the updated Jordan car keeps being delayed due to cooling problems. In this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix Karthikeyan is aiming to claim his ninth race finish of the season.

    "My goal is to fight and finish the race," Karthikeyan said. "Many of our competitors have worked a lot on their cars, including Minardi which is a worry for us until we take a step forward with the new car."
