rules are rules.

racing is not a god given right.

no cash = no racing; it's really simple.

so if minardi are finding it hard with money side take a big look at fiat motor company at the moment there sale s have slumpt to high low and they have substaly drop ferraris f1 budget. so thats probbly why they are using a 04 chassis and 05 updated bodywork. and this is coming from fiats news letter? :?:

At this point in time in the reality we live in Formula one cannot live through many big blows. losing two cars from the grid, even if they aren't competitive, is a big blow. This is a rules issue, but in my opinion the health of the sport is more important than wether or not the last two finishers of the race are driving legal cars.

Im glad they will be allowed to race

Minardi DID run, and guess what, with 2005 spec parts....

They HAVE the parts, they just don't feel like they'll be competitive with it...well that makes the entire grid of them doesn't it..... :roll:

Paul Stoddart sure looks like a fool now....
