Asiatech working on chassis development
It has always been planned that Asiatech would eventually start its own Formula 1 team and while supplying engines to Minardi, the operation is also quietly building up its technical capabilities.
At the same time Enrique Scalabroni's engineering team is designing an all titanium gearbox while also doing automotive consultancy work for an Asian car company.
There may be a recession and some of the Formula 1 teams may be struggling for cash but Asiatech is clearly lining itself up to take over one of the vacant slots in F1 in the years ahead.
