The perennial tail enders of the F1 grid. Despite the claims of team owner Paul Stoddart it is being run as a business and no serious effort is ever made to move the team futher up the grid. They do serve a purpose though and bring two new young drivers to the F1 grid every year. The car will hopefully be better than last year’s effort although they did lose talented driver, Gustav Brunner to Toyota. The engine is no better than average.
Alex Yoong
Usual sort of rent-a-driver who gets to F1 because they’ve got a lot of backing. Performed really badly at the end of last year, expect more of the same this season.
Mark Webber
Talented Australian who is using Minardi as a springboard into a real F1 drive. Needs to thoroughly outperform Yoong at every opportunity.
