Kaciaj 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 Sources are indicating that the soon to be renamed Midland equipe are keen on running BAR refugee Takuma Sato alongside Dutchman Cristijan Albers in 2006. The former Jordan team will run Toyota engines again next season, and despite his career-long links with rivals Honda, Sato is said to be a very strong favourite for one seat. Current Minardi pilot Albers has impressed with his pace this season, and would be a worthy asset to the team too. SOURCE UPDATEF1.COM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 Albers hasnt been outclassed by Doornbos at all. I just read on itv-f1.com that Davidson is likely to get a midland drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nojvnof1 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 I was just about to mention Davidson. He surely should get the seat ahead of Sato. As for the other seat, I'm not fussed whether either current Minardi driver gets it, although Doornbos has been mightily impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 He's probably the best japanese driver so it would make sense. But he should go to america - even rubbish drivers like Giorgio Pantano can do well over there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cavallino 2 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 People talk a lot about albers but I can't see that he's done anything special at all this year (I appreciate its almost impossible to do so in a minardi) for once I agree with you. what is not impossible to do in a minardi is to be slower than your teammate despite having done many more races, and Albers has managed to pull it off..
