Minardi participa la Melbourne
Echipa Minardi-Cosworth, ale carei monoposturi au fost considerate neconforme cu regulamentul tehnic al Federaþiei Internaþionale de Automobilism, a obþinut din partea justiþiei australiene autorizaþia de a participa la antrenamentele in vederea Marelui Premiu al Australiei la Formula 1.
Vineri, un judecator al Curþii supreme din statul Victoria a permis in regim de urgenþa echipei Minardi sa participe la calificarile de sambata, in aºteptarea judecarii problemei de fond de catre un tribunal. „Este fantastic ca putem intra pe pista, in ciuda acestei intregi tevaturi”, a precizat Paul Stoddart, patronul echipei Minardi.
Minardi-Cosworth a sesizat Curtea suprema a statului Victoria dupa ce FIA a decis ca maºinile nu corespund noilor norme tehnice ºi deci nu pot participa la antrenamente ºi la cursa propriu-zisa.
