btw:
1.minardi do have chassi that fit the 2005 rules, it's just that he doesn't want to use as it has not been tested (understable) but it seems to me that they will race in any case...
2.as there were changes: Jaguar->RedBull & Jordan->Midland so Minardi will have to get their signs too (not only ferrari's), and they don't want to let minardi race their 04spec... RedBull said that they wouldn't like to finish 9th with a minardi in front an so losing points... realistic i guess...a minardi finished 5th once...

let's wait and see, but i'm optimistc!!! =)
Good to be optimistic but they'll shave at least 5 seconds off so I think we are all in the ball park. (We are all experts all of a sudden
)
Friday Practice Session Results for 2004: best time - 1.25.127
Qualifying Session Results - Part 2: best time - 1.24.408
(the Part 1 is missing
here )
Anyway do you thing this year they'll shave at least 5 seconds off?
maybe, but I really doubt it...
maybe hey'll shave "just" about 4.5 seconds off?

You picked the best time from Friday last year. The session just started today and Liuzzi is already in the 1:25's
Add to that qualifying last year was with race fuel
I am always optimistic
