The Minardi F1 Team this afternoon concluded a very positive weekend at the Hockenheimring, with Christijan Albers securing an excellent 13th place in the German Grand Prix and new team mate, Robert Doornbos, completing his first Formula One race in 18th. The event was not without incident for the Dutch duo, however, Albers’ car losing one of its bargeboards in a first-lap skirmish and Doornbos being forced to make an unscheduled pit stop on lap four, after his car was in collision with Jacques Villeneuve’s Sauber.
JJ Lehto has put the ADT Champion Racing Audi R8 on pole position for tomorrow's Sebring 12 Hours, his fastest lap of 1m48.710s just pipping sportscar returnee and former F1 driver Allan McNish.
