23 July: German Grand Prix - Qualifying Report - Minardi THE FLYING DUTCHMEN The Minardi F1 Team�s all-Dutch driver line-up of Christijan Albers and Robert Doornbos today continued their strong run of form at the Hockenheimring, scene of Sunday�s German Grand Prix. Albers put in another strong performance, his lap of 1 min 17. 519 secs securing 16th place on the grid, while new team mate, Doornbos, produced a controlled and pacey drive in his first experience of a Formula One qualifying session to take the 17th position. Saturday morning�s two Free Practice sessions also gave a clear indication of the Faenza squad�s improved form, the fastest lap time recorded representing an improvement of nearly one and a half seconds compared with the team�s best at Hockenheim last year. CHRISTIJAN ALBERS �I think I did a reasonable lap in qualifying and produced a good time, so I�m quite happy with today�s performance. We will see how we go tomorrow, but I think we have a reasonable set-up for the race.� ROBERT
DOORNBOS �It was easy to wake up this morning, knowing that I would be driving today. The qualifying was pretty exciting, like the first day at school. I was a bit nervous about trying to make a clean lap, but it went fine, and now I�m very interested to see how our strategy works tomorrow. I�m looking forward to my first race in Formula One, and will be putting 100 per cent effort into doing a good job, both for the team and for myself. It�s going to be another exciting adventure.� PAUL STODDART, Team Principal, Minardi Cosworth �Today saw both Minardi drivers put in stunning efforts with substantial fuel loads to record 16th and 17th places on the grid for tomorrow�s German Grand Prix. Both drivers were on the pace throughout the morning sessions, and as a result of the technical improvements from the team, the Minardi Cosworth PS05 is showing continued progress race on race. We now look forward to tomorrow.� 2005 Germany Grand Prix - Main Page Latest Formula 1 News from Minardi: Vallelunga Test - Day 3 (23/11/2005)Vallelunga Test - Day 2 (22/11/2005) Vallelunga Test - Day 1 (21/11/2005) Minardi F1x2 in South Africa - Day 3 (13/11/2005) Minardi F1x2 in South Africa - Day 2 (12/11/2005) Minardi F1x2 in South Africa (11/11/2005) A statement from Paul Stoddart (28/10/2005) Juan Caceres, Luca Filippi, Davide Rigon to test Minardi (27/10/2005) More news from Minardi Cosworth
