Hello again everyone- I keep popping back here when there are nice new announcements.
It's good to see there are now 2 Minardi teams in the world, both hopefully offering that same blend of passion, dedication, 110% effort and openess that we've be…
Hello again ;)
This is excellent news. The Minardi name stuck around in F3000 until near the bitter end (David Saelens was a name I remember, now he's popped around in Porsche Supercup this season), but now GP2 is the kickass series the F1 tour nee…
I love a team that never dies!
It's perhaps ironic that since Stoddart left F1 the teams have been much more co-operative and have started making agreements and such.
Whether Stoddart started all this or created all the animosity- that's for other…
Aw, if it wasn't for the fact that Massa was joining the team in 2006, making this look out of date, I might have got one!
No, what a terrible product. A much better idea would be one where Schumacher's there, alongside his broken car, looking at t…
Hey, if we all buy copies of his autobiography (I know I will- but then I'd probably buy it even if it was one of his shopping lists), maybe that'll give GCM enough money to go back into F1...
Well, I can dream...
To be honest, I thought GCM had a…
I've always rated Webber. The williams car was a bit of a duffer last year, to be honest, after Nurburgring. Looking carefully, Webber might have been able to win that race- he was outquaified by Heidfeld, but on a two-stopper to Heidfeld's three.
…
But a swing of 4 seconds when Minardi and TOIT are using the same tyres is still a HUGE difference!
If Monza didnt make that much of a difference, it shows how bad the PS04 must've been when the gap was around 5.5 seconds...
Although 2005 brought a solid improvement, didn't it?
Imagine what it'd been like if we were on Michelins this past season. We'd have whupped Jordan for sure.
Bear in mind that at Monza we were only 1.5 seconds off TOIT. The previous season it was…
"2) Shumacher vs Senna at Monaco, 1992(?)"
That was Mansell Vs Senna!!! Don't take away our Nige's great charge to try and win his 6th race on the trot!
But anywa,y whilst I remove the Union Jack flagpole from my buttocks, my Minardi memories..

In addition to supporting Minardi, I support Chester City (been taken over twice in past 10 years), and I've used an Amiga (bought out four times in 10 years), now I'm seeing Minardi go through the third takeover of sorts in ten years. That's if you…
It was brilliant. I suspect Murray Walker might have been there anyway, seeing as he has commentated on Stoddie's 2-seater races since they began in 2001. I wonder if he provided the commentary for the 2005 2-seater races?
And can we move them back…
Nigel: Derek, you could have made a LITTLE more effort with your helmet! I spent all night painting mine!
(Murray Walker is commentating on the Grand Prix Masters series, y'know)
Anngh...pssskkk...I'm torn over how wel I want Squadra etc to do next season. They are essentailly like Jordan this past year- not the team principal there, and the name was irrelevant, but the people working for the team are still the ones who put …
I feel like setting fire to my Minardi t-shirt and giving it a Viking funeral along my local park, hopefully to the bemusement of the groundskeeper and old ladies feeding ducks.
Stoddart can name the F1X 2 what he likes. They were still a waste of time.
*Bzzzt* Wrong! The F1x2 races were and are fantastic displays. How else could I get to see Nigel Mansell, Fernando alonso, Mark Webber, Justin Wilson, Jos Verstappen and Ch…
I would be in favor of this if the FIA wouldn't already have limited the cars by this much. Right now I think they should just stop interfeering.
Spoke too soon...
Your rule changes for 2006/7, gentlemen and ladies!!!
2006
* Tyre changes re-intro…
This is his 10th Season. 10 podiums isn't great. Lets not count that win in Brazil for heavens sake. Seeming as his team mate has bettered that this season.
Don't count Brazil? He passed Kimi Raikkonen on the final lap to win it! Kimi was also very…
You can't drop many places when the people behind you don't set a time. I think it's fair he was last of the timed runners. Trulli started from the pitlane anyway.
JV got penalised 25 seconds for not looking in his mirrors and shoving JPM off the t…
Damn, I was on here to post that.
Oh well.
Can we call the second Honda team Minardi? Are ANY teams in the 2005 season going to remain the same for next season? Maybe Mercedes will buy out McLaren, Benetton will re-buy out Renault and Ferrari will…
