Yes, like in Australia back in 2002.. Oh, I remember that well, who was it, Salo? In a faster car, closing in on Webber. And Webber put it into …

Umm, because you're the one with the trade embargo, the nukes and the 230 million population? The US has been friends with less democratic governments tha…
This conflict of pro-Stoddart and anti-Stoddart sections of the Minardi movement is really classic material.. :D
FRANCIS: Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?
REG: He's over there.
P.F.J.: Splitter!
Any news on Stoddies F1 project? I've …
Bring back Minardi. I want something to keep me interested.
Exactly. Without Minardi, what is there to be excited about? I've deliberately missed both races this season. Nowadays, F1 is mostly boring anyhow - unless Minardi is involved, of course.

In Finland, one would usually shake hands with his doctor. Whether the doctor is a personal friend or someone you've never met before doesn't matter in this case.
I see it as a mutual sign of respect. It is a token gesture from the doctor to imply …
In light of these news, could everyone who said that they support the Minardi staff and thus would support STR please raise their hands? Still sticking to your argument? Are you going to keep on supporting the team, right until the last Minardi-era …
Care to be my investment advisor?-)
I wish I could somehow watch the races, via the Internet for example. I don't think the series will be available via television here in Finland.
There's nothing I would love more than Mr. Minardi starting a team in GP2 or a similar category.
However, MCSF says GCM is of the opinion 'F1 or nothing'. So, I guess it's nothing.
At least for now...
He has 2 passports/nationalities: Finnish and German.
I believe he drives with a German racing license though.
Yes, he has two nationalities - in paper. His real roots are in Germany, though. There's absolutely no connection to Finland other than h…
Pops is an adopted Finn, originally Swedish. Mom is German. Nico was born in Finland but grew up in Germany.
Pretty much like that, but the articles on the net seem to indicate that he was born in Germany, rather than Finland. IIRC, in addition to G…
This split between the purists and the pragmatists is interesting. We all opposed the name change, but now some are willing to accept the reality and others are not.
I am not.
Of course, I am in touch with the fact that when RB purchased the team,…
I have to admit that this is not something I'm very worried about. White power is a very marginal movement and the propaganda they spread is so elementary that it fails to convince anyone who actually thinks with his own brain.
What I am more conce…
Good idea. Even if the name disappears from F1, there is 20 years of history and 340 GP's to be preserved. Now is a good time to focus on gathering information and documenting the high and the low points of Minardi's F1 career.
I'll follow the lead…
The Japanese are showing us how it's done!
What's next? RBR staff treated to sushi with the food arranged to read "SAVE THE MINARDI NAME"?
I love these guys.
Makes sense for BAT to sell, given the new strict laws against tobacco advertising.
However, does it make sense for Honda to buy? BAR isn't a race-winning outfit at the moment, nor is there any clear reason suggesting they'll become one in the near…
Sorry to hear that.
If you keep your car on the street, you need to make sure it looks like it's being taken care of. I remember this study I once read about. The researchers left a flawless limo unattended in a bad neighborhood for a long period o…
I think it was TheDriver who posted the that the entire FIA survey for F1 fans got 93'000 feedbacks only.
Aye, they were wise words - not mine, however :).
I support fighting for the name. Let's show them that there are plenty of us who want to see…
Your profile: You have a great love for Formula1 and especially Minardi.
Great love of Minardi: check
Great love of F1: err.. with or without Minardi?
You can handle a MYsql database in PHP myadmin.
Can do. (I hope there's a backup though; a mySQL d…
No amount of spin could claim that Stoddarts ownership of Minardi has been a good thing for the team.
Bull. Without him, the team would have folded in 2001. Period. He kept the show running when no-one else stepped up to the plate.
It was clear tha…
Looks great! Like proposed by bladerunner, we really should have a place for listing publications that have run the story. The Wiki thread might do for now..
With >1600 signatures and counting, this thing is really going places. I hope Red Bull …
Bladerunner, I fully support that idea. Make the E-mail field invisible - just collect 'em for the final application, but don't display 'em.
I was a tad worried to include my E-mail as well, there are plenty of harvester bots going around the Inter…
good idea and we're working on it
Great! Now's the time to strike, as the news about the deal is still hot; in two weeks, it will be stale and any PR about the deal will be less likely to go through.
forzaminardi.com/petition won't get you nowhere t…
The ideas about contacting former Minardi drivers and asking them to comment about the situation is a great one. If even one of that awesome list would be willing to state something like "Minardi gave me my break, and I think the name is a vital par…
More for the TODO list:
