Alhoewel, net even het artikel op autosport.com doorgenomen. De belangrijkste feiten:
Minardi has signed Bas Leinders as its official test driver for the 2004 season, and the 28-year-old Belgian will participate in Friday practice sessions at grand prix weekends from Melbourne this weekend.
Team principal Paul Stoddart said: "Minardi is very pleased to have concluded a contract with Bas that will see him become our regular Friday test driver, running in a third chassis alongside Gimmi [Bruni] and Zsolt [Baumgartner] at all grand prix weekends. He has a lot of useful, and relevant, racing experience under his belt, as well as the added advantage of knowing many of the F1 circuits from his time in the International F3000 Championship.
In a separate deal, former Champ Car racer Tiago Monteiro has also signed up as a Minardi test driver. The 27-year-old, from Oporto, Portugal, will assist the team with its test and development programme in the course of the year, dovetailing these commitments with a full season competing in the Dallara Nissan World Series, where he will drive for Carlin Motorsport.
