Minardi gets green light
March 4, 2005
FORMULA ONE team Minardi can race in the Australian Grand Prix after the Victorian Supreme Court granted an injunction tonight.
Grand Prix officials earlier ruled the Minardi team out of the race after they were told their cars did not meet 2005 safety standards.
Justice Habersberger ruled Minardi could participate in tomorrow's practice session, given that the matter was urgent.
The court was adjourned until 2.15pm tomorrow when any interested parties could discuss the issue further.
No Formula One officials appeared in court because of the short notice of the legal action.
Minardi team owner Paul Stoddart was relieved his cars could get on the track tomorrow.
"Now it's in the hands of the court, I really can't say anymore than that except that Minardi will be participating tomorrow, as usual, at the Grand Prix," Stoddart said.
"It's really fantastic to actually get on the track in the wake of all the publicity."
