Page 1 of 1 The Minardi F1 Team officially unveiled its 2005 Formula One challenger, the Minardi Cosworth PS05, at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, scene of the San Marino Grand Prix. This followed successful test of the first PS05 chassis at the Mugello circuit, and marks the culmination of nearly five months of intensive effort by Minardi personnel to ensure the team's new car would be ready for its "home" Grand Prix. Adding to the significance of the 2005 San Marino Grand Prix, the event marked Minardi's 325th start in 20 years of World Championship competition.
The Minardi PS05 is a dramatic evolution of its immediate predecessor, featuring highly sculpted side pods and a number of aerodynamic innovations aimed at increasing downforce levels, reducing drag, and working in harmony with the wing and diffuser specifications mandated for 2005.
At least as significant as the latest Minardi's aerodynamics is the engine that sits beneath the curvaceous bodywork of the new car. The Cosworth Racing TJ2005 Series 10 power unit represents a major step forward for Minardi in terms of performance, and in combination with the PS05 chassis and Bridgestone tyres, should help the team close the gap to its rivals.
