I read today on ITV-F1 that Marc Gene has been spotted at Williams, lining up a job as test and reserve driver. All part of the current fad of signing up failed race drivers as 'experienced' testers. Doubtless this will not please Mr Minardi Fan much.
And how long before someone signs Tiff Needell??!! |

Yeah, its not looking great for Minardi at the moment as their rising star Fernando Alonso is rumoured to have signed to test for Ferrari, and possibly race for Prost. Their chief mechanic is rumoured to be on his way too. This leaves Minardi with Marzipan, no sponsorship, no chief mechanic and no engines. Oh dear. Could be a good career move for Gene though.
And hell will be chilly before Tiff gets an F1 testing role... |
