ΓΙΑΤΙ ΜΙΝΑΡΝΤΙ?
Πολλοι θα απορουν πως υπαρχουν ανθρωποι να υποστηριζουν του αιωνια αδυνατους, αυτους που δεν εχουν ουτε μια πιθανοτητα ισως και δυνατοτητα να νικησουν ποτε. Ομως αυτη ειναι και στην Φορμουλα 1 κατα βαθος η ουσια της αγαπης μας για την Μιναρντι, διοτι ξερουμε οτι δεν προκειται ποτε να κερδισει αλλα θα ειναι εκει και θα αγωνιζεται οπως το κανει χρονια τωρα, Η πρωτη αποψη ανηκει σε αυτους που θελουν παντα τους δυνατους και τους ισχηρους να κινουνε τα παντα, εισαι αδυνατος δεν υπαρχεις λογο να υπαρχεις. Και ομως η Μιναρντι οχι μονο υπαρχει αλλα εχει συμπληρωσει και μια ΕΙΚΟΣΑΕΤΙΑ ηδη στον θεσμο, ειναι δηλαδη πιο παλια και απο δηθεν παραδοσιακες δυναμεις του θεσμου. Σε ολη αυτην την διαρκεια της ιστορια της εχει τροφοδοτησει με πολυ καλους οδηγους το πρωταθλημα, απο που να ξεκινησεις Τρουλι,Φιζικελλα,Τζενε,Γουεμπερ,Μπαντοερ μεχρι και τον πρωταθλητη του 2005 τον μεγαλο Φερναντο Αλονσο, ολοι αυτοι αν δεν υπηρχε η ανεση του αουτσαιντερ στις πρωτες τους εμφανισεις στο πρωταθλημα ισως να μην ειχαν αυτην την εξελιξη, διοτι σε αυτες τις περιπτωσεις ακομα και αν γνωριζεις οτι θα εισαι τελευταιος αγωνιζεσαι για το καλυτερο χωρις φοβο και αγχος.
Δυστηχως τα πραγματα δεν ερχονται παντα ετσι οπως τα θελουμε και ετσι και η τελευταια ρομαντικη φωνη στο χωρο της Φορμουλα 1, σιγησε αφου το επιχειριματικο δαιμονιο του Στονταρτ αποφασισε να παραχωρησε την ομαδα στην Ρεντ Μπουλ η οποια και την διελυσε εν μια νυκτει.....

Chinese G.P. - The race
GRAND FINALE
SHANGHAI, CHINA, October 16, 2005
In the final race of an illustrious 21-year history of competing in the FIA Formula One World Championship, the Minardi F1 Team did what it has always done, and raced as hard as it could in today’s Grand Prix of China. When the chequered flag fell on the concluding race of the 2005 Formula One season, drivers Robert Doornbos and Christijan Albers had claimed 14th and 16th places respectively. The afternoon was not without incident for the Faenza squad, however, and particularly Albers, who had to start the race from the pit lane in the team’s spare car after a collision with Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari while proceeding to the grid. He then had to make an unscheduled pit stop four laps from the finish when a wheel nut came loose. Doornbos had a less eventful race, climbing as high as 13th just before the second of his two scheduled pit stops, but like Albers, lost track position as a result of making his first stop immediately prior to the first deployment of the Safety Car. Doornbos did derive some satisfaction, however from finishing the race just two seconds behind the Ferrari of Rubens Barrichello.
ROBERT DOORNBOS
Position: 14
Time: 1 min 36.894 secs
Chassis: PS05/02
“I said over the radio at the end of the race, ‘Thank you, Minardi, for giving me the chance to make my debut as a Formula One driver’. The race itself started spectacularly for us, and I think I did my best on cold tyres after the Safety Car incidents to pass both a Williams and Villeneuve’s Sauber a couple of times. I think I drove well and really enjoyed myself this afternoon. Let’s hope I can be back in Shanghai again next year and get a better result”.
CHRISTIJAN ALBERS
Position: 16
Time: 1 min 37.215 secs
Chassis: PS05/01
“I think everyone saw what happened on the formation lap, and I think it was a shame for both of us. To be honest, we had bad luck all day. I had to start the race in the spare car, which is not to the latest specification – it lacks power steering, for example – and on different tyres. Unfortunately, I lost one lap almost immediately, when I came out from my first pit stop behind the leaders, who were behind the Safety Car by that time for Montoya’s incident. Still, that’s life, but it’s also F1. It’s hard, and you have to get used to it. It will just make me determined to push even harder next year”.
GIAN CARLO MINARDI, Team Founder
“I want to thank our Technical Director, Gabriele Tredozi, for everything he has done to make the Minardi name synonymous around the world with competing with dignity and to the maximum level possible, given the available technical resources. Over the years, we have experienced a number of problems, but we’ve been able to deal with them thanks to the passion that has always existed within this team. I want to thank all the guys, at the races and at the factory, for the effort they have put in over these last 21 years. I also want to thank all the drivers, who have helped to make this team great, and all the sponsors and fans, who have supported us unstintingly”.
PAUL STODDART, Team Principal
“The tally is 340 Grands Prix, 21 seasons, 37 drivers and one World Champion, with perhaps more to come. That’s a pretty impressive record by any standards, and I’m proud of each and every member of the Minardi team. Together with all of our colleagues back at the factory in Faenza, this team has a heart and soul second to none. The words, “Never has so much been achieved by so few with so little,” can never have been as justified as they are with Minardi. Given that the team has survived against all odds over the years, competing with both dignity and passion while contributing so much to the FIA Formula One World Championship, today is a sad day. To our current drivers, Christijan and Robert, and to all the Minardi drivers and team members over the years, thank you very much for a job well done”.
ΚΑΙ ΤΟ ΧΡΟΝΙΚΟ ΤΗΣ ΜΕΓΑΛΗΣ ΕΠΙΣΤΡΟΦΗΣ ΤΟΥΛΑΧΙΣΤΟΝ ΣΤΟΝ ΜΗΧΑΝΟΚΙΝΗΤΟ ΑΘΛΗΤΙΣΜΟ ΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΔΗΜΙΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΤΗΣ Minardi Team ΓΙΑ ΤΟ ΠΡΩΤΑΘΛΗΜΑ Euroserires 3000:
"Saturday, January 28 2006 is an important date for motor racing. After the purchase of the Minardi F1 Team on the part of Red Bull, it seemed that the Minardi team was destined to disappear from the international scene, but fortunately it didn’t happen, thanks to the intervention of GP Racing , wanting to preserve the wealth of experience accumulated over twenty years of Formula One.
The Minardi Team, born from the new partnership between Gian Carlo Minardi and GP Racing , is destined to compete in the new Euroseries, the continental championship born from the CSAI F.3000 Italian Trophy.
The cars of the new Minardi Team by GP Racing are the cars Lola B02/50, while the colours are those of the debut, yellow and dark blue, restoring the logo of the past, a gryphon holding a sword.
The targets of the new team are clear: stand out in the championship and launch young talents in the Formula One and in the highest categories of world motor racing"
