Sad news
Minardi Sporting Director John Walton is in a critical condition at a London hospital after a heart attack.
He also worked for Jordan and Arrows in the past. Best wishes for a recovery. |

Thansk for letting us know. Fingers crossed that he can improve over the course of the weekend. This really is the last thing Minardi or Formula 1 needs.

Will Louise be at Silverstone then? If so, will it produce a(nother) negative influence on her performance?
***** Anyway, not the essential thing at present. Naturally, I, along with everyone else, hopes he manages to recover to maximum that is possible. |

So is it good or bad? Hope he get well soon! |

It means, I believe, that his condition is a serious one, on high observation etc (it was a heart attack and all, no small thing); BUT, crucially, he is in the state one would expect following a heart attack and, theoretically, he should recover if things continue to go as expected.
I reckon that is the general idea of critical yet stable. |

This in from F1-live.
"Minardi did not run in this session, presumably as a mark of respect for their Sporting Director John Walton who sadly passed away last night. " Very sad news. |

Terrible news. My sympathies to Louise and his family and friends.
And of course to Team Minardi. |
