Minardi might not even be at the first race.. because the new rules were finalised so late they couldn't start building their new car until October \ November and so it isn't ready in time.

They want to race with their 04 car but this is based on the old rules and so potentially has more downforce, although it is a Minardi.

All the team have said they can race in the first 3 or 4 races with this car but one. Namely Ferrari, maybe they are worried Minardi will win the race.

Thing is if Minardi aren't there then 2 of the teams will have to field a third car to make up the numbers
