I used to be close to tears when Minardi scored a point or two.
It's not that easy to do when you're getting lapped three or four time during a race. Yes, they were just making up the numbers, but that dogged determination really shone through on so many occasions.
I shall be very interested in that battle for tenth spot, and maybe next season the predicted unreliability will throw up one or two surprises.
Long live the underdog!
