A new look for Minardi

The word in the paddock in Austria is that Minardi will shortly have a new look with the team's sponsorship portfolio having changed somewhat since the start of the season. It seems that the deal agreed with Russian firm Gazprom has not come to fruition and this has now disappeared from the car while we hear from Holland that the Trust computer company and the Muermans real estate firm are looking at increasing their backing of the team and that this will mean that the team will run with a black chassis as usual but with white sidepods.
