Think is will be a "closed door" shakedown, not sure we will get any pictures today.

If a shakedown expect something like

"Today the Minardi team performed a successful shakedown of the PS05 car, which the driver stated to be the best Minardi he had ever tried. We will test extensively up to the San Marino Grand Prix, and feel sure that we will be able to be competive with the radical PS05"

Good luck to Minardi. Hopefully they'll move up the grid and catch Jordan

Despite my intense dislike for Stoddardtagghtattttt (seppling), I really hope that Minardi have indeed build a radical F1 car, which will power Patrick to pointscoring finishes the rest of the season.

I can't see the relation between radicalism and speed.

Yes, it'd be nice to see a fight between Minardi and Jordan. I think this year is the last oportunity for Minardi to fight with Jordan... The roubles on midland will put them far ahead (of minardi) (maybe it'll be Midland vs Sauber??)

The Minardi team gave the PS05 its first shakedown today.

Christijan Albers covered 39 laps at the Mugello track setting a best time of 1:26.530 ... more

It would be nice if they could fight Jordan.

It would be even better if the three teams in the back could challenge for points!

It would be great if Minardi can come up with a car that can fight for points!

They are afterall running the same engine as Red Bull aren't they ?

They can just add V instead

But K-D why Patrick and not Christijan ? Or is there something between the Danish and the Dutch
