There's a report here
http://en.chinabroadcast.cn/2241/200...130@211482.htm saying Minardi might be signing a BMW Asia driver as their third driver:
"Li Yingjian, the 2004 BMW Asian champion, is likely to join the F1 team Minar
According to Li, negotiations are underway, for him to become the third driver for the Formula One team.
If the deal is reached, Li will become China's first F1 driver. "
The sport gained a huge boost in the country last year when Shanghai, China's largest city, joins the Formula One calendar."
I haven't been keeping up with the scene over there for months now, so I really can't tell where the story is coming from.
As I understand it, they're talking about Marchy Lee from Hong Kong, using the Mandarin pronunciation of the driver's name. He was BMW Asia champ last year.
