Stoddart to be Minardi's last driver
Paul Stoddart will become the last man to drive a contemporary Minardi Formula One car at Vallelunga on Thursday.
Outgoing team boss Stoddart will demonstrate the current PS05 at the Italian circuit on Thursday afternoon, after this week's driver evaluation tests are completed.
The 50 year-old Australian has driven the other Minardi cars during his five-year spell as team boss, however it will be the first time he will get behind the wheel of the 2005 challenger.
"I'll go down in the history as the last person to drive a Minardi," Stoddart told autosport.com. "I've not driven this year's car before but it won't be too difficult.
"I'll only do five laps or something, this will be the last lap in the Minardi Formula 1 car so I may as well do it. It will be very nostalgic but there isn't a lot of width on the track for what I had in mind. I'm sure there will be something special at the end.
"It will just be demonstration laps, I don't know this track very well so I'm not going to go too fast."
Minardi have been bought by Red Bull, who will rename the team next season.

I can dream, can't I?
And for both persons, it would be the best choice they could do...
Only if Gian Carlo is in front.

Song: Without You Lyrics
Eliza (singing):
What a fool I was, what dominated fool,
to think that you were the earth and the sky,
What a fool I was, What an elevated fool,
What a mutton-headed dote was I!
No, my reverberated friend,
you are not the beginning and the end.
Professor Higgins (speaking):
You impetant hussy there's not an idea in your head or a word in your mouth that I haven't put there.
Eliza (singing):
There'll be spring every year without you. England still will be here without you.
There'll be fruit on the tree.
And a shore by the sea.
There'll be crumpets and tea without you.
Art and music will thrive without you. Somehow Keats will survive without you.
And there still will be rain on that plain down in Spain,
even that will remain without you.
I can do without you.
You, dear friend, who taught so well,
You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire.
They can still rule with land without you.
Windsor Castle will stand without you.
And without much ado we can all muddle through without you.
Professor Higgins:
You brazen hussy,
Eliza (singing):
Wihtout pulling it the tide comes in,
without your twirling it the Earth can spin,
Without your pulling it, the tide comes in
Without your twirling it, the earth can spin
Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by,
If they can do without you, ducky, so can I
I shall not feel alone without you
I can stand on my own without you
So go back in your shell
I can do bloody well
Without...
Professor Higging (singing) interupts:
By George, I really did it,
I did it, I did it,
I said I'd make a woman and indeed I did,
I knew that I could do it,
I knew it, I knew it,
I said I'd make a woman and succeed I did!
(speaking)
Eliza you are wonderful
