Friesacher to test for Minardi

Austria's Patrick Friesacher is to test for Minardi later this autumn. Friesacher, a winner in the FIA International Formula 3000 in the last two years, is looking at his options for the future and hopes that an F1 test will help him raise the money needed to break into Formula 1 in 2005. The test is planned to take place at Misano Adriatico at the end of November.
