Minardi in 2006: Squadra Torro Rosso
The austrian newspaper the Salzburger Nachrichten, reports today that Minirdi is going to Squadra Torro Rosso (italian for Team Red Bull) starting from season 2006. And that their drivers will be the italian Vitantionio Liuzzi and the American Scott Speed.
Is there anybody to confirm this story?
Squadra Torro Rosso already looking to make headlines.....
The fledgling STR team look set to make the first major headlines of the preseason testing programmes. They are expected to give young British driver Katherine Legge a test behind the wheel of an F1 car in November. If it happens she'll be the first woman to drive an F1 car since 1991.

Will she make the grade I wonder? Or is it just a crude marketing ploy by STR? Will she make a similar impact to Danica Patrick in IRL?
There are many question marks about this plan from STR. There is only one thing us super-serious, intellectual motorsport enthusiasts can say about her credentials with absolute certainty..........she's not [I]quite[/I] as hot as Danica Patrick! :o
