@FMecha - You're right! Knight has been demoted to No.2 now and the Jagermeister loving Hermann Mann that we all know and love is now team boss.

La Gazzetta Dello Sport wrote:Scuderia Italia reap windfall from debut victory

After a sensational first win for Stefano Modena and his Scuderia Italia team, the Ferrari powered squad has announced a host of new sponsors backing the team for the rest of the season, starting from the next round of the championship.

Peroni will become a major sponsor of the team, with the Dallara machines to be branded with their famous "Nastro Azzurro" brand. Along with them, deals have also been signed with oil and lubricants supplier Selenia, Cesena-based fitness equipment brand TechnoGym, insurance firm Reale Mutua, and Siena-based bank Montepaschi.

The small team, based in Brescia, had expanded to two cars for the first time for this season, and the immediate impact has come only months after appointing prodigious young Scottish entrepreneur Alasdair Lindsay as their CEO. The Scot got rich at a young age, trading his way up to becoming a millionare before turning 19.

"It's great to sign all these deals with these great sponsors, they will ensure we will keep progressing well throughout the year," he said. "Giuseppe [Lucchini] had become wrapped up in some issues with his own steel fabrication business, so he needed someone to come along and assist with the team. And so here I am. People thought he was crazy hiring such a young guy to run an F1 team, but I think now everyone can understand why. I'm not an idiot you know."

Frank Williams wrote:It's incredibly frustrating to lose a win like that, but we have to look at the positives here. Both Thierry and Alessandro did fantastic jobs in the race - Thierry drove extremely well and ran his own race, and it was only down to a fuel miscalculation that he was denied what would've been a fantastic maiden win on his Williams debut. And while Alessandro must be kicking himself after spinning off very early, he still did well to recover 2nd place. While this is a race I feel we should've won, nonetheless, we still scored 8 points, which is 8 more than McLaren and Ferrari did.

Delighted to score my first point on my debut. The Minardi wasn't bad here, and with a little more luck, could've pushed for more points. It's a solid start mind.

And flaschenpost, both JeremyMcClean and eichy are regular posters (JMcC more so). They'll be around in a day or two. Many, many people here have important things in life like jobs, family etc. And let's be honest, an Internet foul isn't always top of the 'to do' list.

Brabham is interested in former Formula 3000 driver Mark Blundell, as well as the 1988 American Racing Series champion Jon Beekhuis. As for the tires, we'd like to get the good old Goodyear tires. Last but not least, the engine, where we'd like to ask Yamaha, if they want to supply us.

If Yamaha wants to play that card, Brabham's going to say no thanks! Still, Brabham is not sure if they might receive proper support by either Judd or Ford, as they seemingly supply 75% of the grid. However, Brabham has recently build an Alfa 164 for the Procar regulations, and Alfa probably still has that V10 engine. So Brabham would like to ask Alfa, if they can have that engine.

Our two drivers will be former F3000 driver Mark Blundell, as well as the 1988 American Racing Series champion, Jon Beekhuis. While we could have signed at least one veteran for our team, we felt that we should go for young talents here. We are also proud to announce an exclusive deal with Alfa Romeo, who will supply us with their V10 engine. With further development, we are confident that we'll place in front of the Ford/Judd teams in a very short time.

But considering that this was a rather short-term deal, the results look ok. We are pleased with Mark's results, while Jon clearly needs a bit more time to make himself familiar with a F1 car. But I believe in his talent, which is why I'll give him the time he needs."

Lap 20 : Berger pits in for the 2nd time already - has he some problems? possible!

Lap 22 : Last year, they won 15 out of 16 races - Now we can already say, that they won´t beat it - you know what happened - the world champion Ayrton Senna has just parked his McLaren! Giving the lead to Lionheart Nigel Mansell in his Ferrari!

Lap 24 : Nannini - who just ran in 2nd place - is out of it with Engine-Problems - And so is NIGEL MANSELL! Wow, it seems like the topteams REALLY have to improve their reliability! In the lead now is Thierry boutsen - from Stefano Modena - Modena? No, that can´t happen a second time!

Lap 26 : Martini out now - he ran 13th at that point

Lap 48 - After that Wonder of Brazil - its a Double-DNF at Imola : De Cesaris is out

Lap 51 : With 10 laps to go, Berger closed the Gap to 7.5 seconds and is at least half a second quicker per lap - can he, or can´t he?

Lap 53 : With points out of sight anyway, Capelli has to stop his Arrows
