| | German Grand Prix - Race Report - Minardi |
 | | Come the end of a German Grand Prix run in blistering heat - the track temperature was 49 deg C immediately before the start of the race - European Minardi Cosworth personnel had reason to be both pleased and disappointed. |
 | | Pleased because newly signed Danish driver, Nicolas Kiesa, made an assured Formula One debut in the gruelling conditions, finishing his first Grand Prix in 12th place, but disappointed because team mate, Jos Verstappen, was forced to retire his car from the race on lap 24. |
 | | As for the car, it was good for the first four or five laps of each stint, but then the handling started to degrade and I found myself grappling with quite a lot of oversteer. |
