 pitpass - the latest, hottest F1 & A1GP news
To some it may have appeared that Christijan's decision to sign for the underperforming Italian outfit was a major step backwards, however, let's not forget that Giancarlo Fisichella, Jarno Trulli, Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber all attracted the attention of the bigger teams whilst driving for the perennial backmarkers.
The highlight of Christijan's season - other than fifth in that pathetic excuse of a race at Indianapolis - was his mammoth qualifying effort at Montreal where he put the fl and white car fourteenth on the grid.
Christijan is a proven winner, if his F1 career is to flourish he will have to abandon the sniping at other drivers and concentrate on doing the best possible job, no matter how bad the equipment.

 Christijan Albers season review - F1Technical.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Dutchman Christijan Albers had mixed fortunes during his debut season in Formula One with the Minardi Formula One team but ended the season assured of a second season in the top tier of motorsport with Bridgestone.
Albers started the season with Austrian Formula 3000 graduate Patrick Friesacher as his team-mate and the pair built up a strong relationship within the team as they raced with a modified version of the 2004 cars before bringing in the 2005 machine later in the season.
Albers was left without a drive following Minardi's sale to Red Bull but he wasted no time in sealing a move to the new Midland F1 team for 2006 with his team-mate rumoured to be Portuguese driver Tiago Monteiro.

 F1 News > Christijan Albers and Williams - Grandprix.com
Minardi driver Christijan Albers is one man who is going to be severely affected by the purchase of Minardi by Red Bull.
This means that the only pay-drives available in the future will be with the Midland F1 team and there are no signs that this is going to be any more serious in 2006 than it has been this year and thus a drive there might not be a very good investment.
Albers and others, such as Robert Doornbos, Narain Karthikeyan and Tiago Monteiro are thus looking around for other opportunities and test drives seem to offer the best chance there is to break into F1 because teams place so much emphasis these days on time spent in the cars.

Christijan Albers has been pretty evenly matched with team-mate Tiago Monteiro through this season.
Albers was quietly impressive in his debut season with lowly Minardi last year and will be retained for 2007.
The Dutchman has a smooth, committed driving style allied to a racer's edge and arguably had slightly the better of both his team-mates in 2005.

 Christian Albers : The Formula One DataBase
A great talent in touring cars, Albers has found the transition from heavy DTM cars to light single seaters tough, however he has still outshone his rookie teammate Patrick Friesacher.
Being the first Dutch driver since Jos Verstappen seems like a hard task to please the motorsports-fanatic dutch, but his success in Touring cars, including a third place finish in the 2004 DTM series, one of the toughest touring car series in the world, has cemented Albers's reputation as a talented driver.
It was no surprised then at the end of the season the Dutchman went the way of Mark Webber, Fernando Alonso, and Jarno Trulli and advanced up the grid, as opposed to Alex Yoong, Tarso Marques, and Zsolt Baumgartner, who never managed a career in F1 after their Minardi sojourns.

While everyone was very happy to see the Dutchman clamber unhurt from his upturned car after its first lap barrel roll, testament to the strength of the M16 chassis and the safety systems introduced by the FIA, he was initially angry with Super Aguri's Yuji Ide, whose nudge was enough to tip the Midland over.
However, on reflection, Albers admits that there were other reasons for being involved.
