The Minardi F1 Team confirms that the first Minardi Cosworth PS05 chassis will today undergo its initial shakedown runs during a
“closed-door” test at the Mugello circuit. Christijan Albers will handle the driving duties.
Team Principal, Paul
Stoddart, comments, “The fact that we are able to test the first Minardi Cosworth PS05 chassis today is a testament to the
overwhelming dedication and single-minded determination of everyone at the factory, as well as the team’s suppliers and technical
partners. This test marks the culmination of a massive effort, and I would like to thank all of those involved for making it
possible.”
