Minardi may need one!

The spat between the richest Formula One team and the poorest took another twist Friday when Ferrari refused to give Minardi an exemption on some technical irregularities.

That forced Minardi to miss the first practice session for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix. Team owner Paul Stoddart said Minardi is in danger of missing the race if Ferrari doesn’t consent to use of 2004 models not in compliance with new bodywork rules.

Rules are rules is the old saying. And Ferrari is Ferrari, obstinate as always. Maybe they are afraid of running over Minardi as they lap them about the 10th lap!

Without agreement from all nine rivals before Saturday’s first qualifying session
