Cedric "The Entertainer" is a comedian that owns an entertainment company and has done some movies and tv along with owning the team partially with Keith Wiggins up untill now. As Stoddart has stated he welcomes him to stay on and sponsor a third car.
Don't know if this is a mistake or a leak but on under Minardi Team USA on CCWS.com they show Dan Clarke, Nelson Philippe, and Robert Doornbos as the teams drivers so Doornbos has been added recently to the site, they still haven't updated and put the team name and stoddart's name as owner though.
Come on it's America, everything is bigger, better and.....stranger?! If your a moviestar you can become a Champ Car teamowner (Paul), a major (Clint), a governor (Arnie), heck even President (Ronald)! So why can't 'Ceddybear', stand-up comedian and moviestar, also considered as the funniest guy in the USA, own a team?! As long as he pays-up I couldn't care less.
Originally posted by forzaminardi I don't think Rodriguez is up to it yet, it's only his first season and not so sure about negrao's talent to start with.
Agreed - plus there are some infrastructure integration issues as well. I think Rod will show well though.
btw, gp2series.com has the old name of the team as well
The BIG difference is that people involved with the GP2 series are actually named Minardi.
Roldan Rodriguez has among his many fans the Renault F1 team. Adrain Campos in an article published in a Madrid paper says the likeable Roldan has a chance to continue his rise up the motor sport ladder by impressing Renault this year. Renault are anxious to get another Spanish driver on board to continue the company's close relationships with Spanish companies. Campos who said he would have liked Roldan to race with his Campos Grand Prix team this year but the fact that Roldan has Giancarlo Minardi as a mentor he felt it was in his best interests to continue with the Minardi Team. Campos also said Rodriguez was offered a chance to drive in the US Champ Car series deciding GP2 was his best chance to achieve his dream in becoming a Formula 1 driver. Juan Caceres left the Minardi F3000 Team during the season to join Champ Car.

time will tell
CEDRIC “THE ENTERTAINER ”
and what can it have to do with a professional racing team?
"I'll be seeing you in the winner's circle!"
Just doesn't quiet fit with the image of a pro racing team as a major sponsor.
As lease has demonstrated.............................
What do you think the GP2 season outcome will be for the real Minardi? I think they will do well - top 3 for sure.
Rodriguez attracts Attention
