Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 PS should not sell, otherwise Minardi will do a Jordan and become a completely different team. By the way, here in Bristol I drive past a small airport every day, and there's always a big plane with 'European' on the side, I believe thats part of Stoddart's airline, is it not?

Kaciaj 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 If Minardi (being sold) retains its name will never go up the grid cause his name means worldwide "the slowest car,the poorest budget" and this isn't actractive for sponsors and\or constructors....If they sold and want to make a step forward they have to change name...I think however the guys who works at Minardi are very good,all the best young Ferrari engineers are from Minardi!!!

Senna 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2005 heh, if he sold all his planes, he would have a very good amount of money and would then be able to make a remotely decent car! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
