Keep Minardi alive
 

More than a thousand Minardi fans have already put their support behind a bid to keep the historic name on the F1 grid.

Following Paul Stoddart's decision to sell the Faenza based straggler, forzaminardi.com is running an online petition pleading with new owner Red Bull to call off likely plans for a moniker like 'Red Bull Rookie'.

''Over twenty years,'' the petition description read, ''(Minardi has) become an important and valuable player in F1.

''We urge the team's new owners to consider keeping Minardi, the sporting spirit of F1, alive. Forza Minardi!'

Signed the petition and it looks like a world wide response so with luck the worst it could end up as is Red Bull Minardi. Fingers crossed. :) :)
