Fantastic debut on such a humble car.

Fernando Alonso´s 2001 Minardi-Ford at his museum in Asturias (Spain).

 In spite of having made his debut in Formula 1 on the poorest car on the grid, the Spaniard Fernando Alonso managed to make some great performances, very often taking his car to levels that, in theory, were banned to a Minardi in that 2001 season. See for instance his performance during the qualifying session for the US Grand Prix (in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway) THAT IS PUSHING THE CAR TO THE VERY LIMTS!! (no- he did not get the pole; he started just 17th out of 20 cars, but considering that he was doomed to start 19th or even 20th , you can say that this performance was outstanding) youtu.be/6YodKzyep3Q

 I miss Team Minardi so much indeed...
