[情報] Minardi謝幕前的最後一次測試

Stoddart drives last ever lap for Minardi

  In wintery sunshine, the Minardi F1 Team today made its last on-track
appearance, Team Principal for the past five years, Paul Stoddart, and
official tester, Chanoch Nissany, bringing the final chapter of Minardi's
memorable 21-year history F1 at Vallelunga.

  In a final gesture, Stoddart took to the Roman circuit late Thursday
afternoon, in a lone Minardi Cosworth PS05, in order to salute the small,
but enthusiastic, group of dedicated fans and supporters who had gathered
to witness the historic occasion.

  Fittingly, former Minardi drivers, Marc Gene and Gianni Morbidelli, as
well as popular Italian singing star, and long-time supporter of the Faenza
squad, Max Gazze, were among those present. As on the previous three days
of the test, the Minardi F1x2 cars were also in action on Thursday, with
Morbidelli, plus 2005 Minardi F1 Team drivers, Robert Doornbos and Patrick
Friesacher, taking a total of 40 VIP guests, nominated primarily by
commercial partner, the Muermans Group, for high-speed rides around the
4.11-km track. The team, which passed into the hands of Austrian energy
drink manufacturer, Red Bull, at the beginning of November, now begins a
new chapter, as Squadra Toro Rosso.

  "It turned out a more emotional experience than I expected to be the
last person to drive a Minardi F1 car," Stoddart said. "For so many years,
 Minardi has tried to give so much to so many, and it has been very
touching this week to have received so many positive comments. Now the
team has moved on to become Squadra Toro Rosso, I wish them every success
, although I know I'm not alone in thinking it will always be Minardi in
the minds of so many people. On a final note, Minardi is only what it is
because of the people within the team, and I have enjoyed the best five
years of my life working with some truly professional individuals. Thank
you to all of them."
