Albers to Minardi

22 December 2004
Albers to be announced as Minardi driver

On Thursday Christijan Albers will be announced as Minardi Formula One driver by the team at a press conference in Amsterdam. The rumours were pretty strong since last week that the Dutchman was about to sign a contract with the team, but the deal will be finally announced on Thursday.


Albers tested with Minardi at the beginning of the month in Misano. A week later he tested with Jordan at Jerez. The press conference, organised by the Italian team, will be held in a hotel in Amsterdam at 13.00 CET.




So it seems that the Netherlands have a successor for Jossie

yeah, I just read that too.

Now I hope that Bas Leinders will be the 2nd driver!

As far as i'm concerned i don't really care about christijan. All he does is brag about himself and how good he is. It would be rather nice to see him flunk bigtime and blame minardi.

I just don't like the guy's attitude. He needs a larger helmet to park his ego...

Doornbos however would be a nice choice at jordan. That way he would also be able to kick some Albers ass :D

Well done to CA, and good on Minardi for recruiting someone we've heard of this time.

I hope Montagny gets the other seat, and Leinders to Jordan!

Is Bas Leinders that good?

Never really noticed him, only seen him mingling around with Baumgartner in the timesheets for one of those practice sessions.

I would prefer to see Ryan Briscoe ....

You can read it in this Week´s Autosport magazine.Also Midland has offered him a seat for 2006.

so will we see Trust sponsors all over minardi again?

that´s great Eugenio , I really hope he gets a seat

yeah, Bas Leinders is good enough. He has some potential, faster then Albers I think but the only problem is that our @#$%& COUNTRY doesn't have any STUPID SPONSORS TO GIVE HIM MONEY

No, it's very complicated, but basicly Albers may not be sponsored by Trust in any FIA organised championship until 2006. Something to do with the company sponsoring Verstappen.

You take ''T'' away from ''Trust'' and you get a new sponsor that will paint minardi cars
