22 April: Marchy Lee Ying-Kin to test Minardi FAENZA, ITALY – The Minardi F1 Team is pleased to confirm that Chinese driver, Marchy Lee Ying-Kin, will participate in the Faenza squad’s upcoming test at the Mugello circuit, on April 27 and 28. Lee, who is the reigning Formula BMW Asia Champion, will join Minardi race drivers Christijan Albers and Patrick Friesacher, and test driver, Chanoch Nissany. The team will take two of its latest Minardi Cosworth PS05 chassis to the test, as well as a single PS04B, the latter for comparative purposes and tyre evaluation. As a result of his participation in the test, Lee, who won 12 of 15 races on his way to the Formula BMW Asia title, will become the first Chinese-domiciled driver to sample a current Formula One car. Minardi Team Principal, Paul Stoddart, comments, “We have been keeping an eye on Marchy’s progress for some time, and are pleased to be able to give him his first taste of Formula One performance next week. It will also give the team a chance to have a close look at him in terms of possible Formula One potential. Following last year’s inaugural, and hugely successful, Chinese Grand Prix, I’m sure this test will generate considerable interest among Formula One fans in China and help to raise the profile of the sport there still further.” Latest Formula 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
