Midland duo talk up improvements

Midland F1 drivers Tiago Monteiro and Christijan Albers are talking up the improvements the team has made to its car since the Australian Grand Prix. During a 2-day test session at Silverstone Circuit last week, the team worked on its control systems and analysed the performance of new aerodynamic components. 

"It's good to be back in Europe! I'm looking forward to trying out all the new parts we have on the car, which should make for a good improvement," Montiero said. "I really believe I could have scored points in Australia had I not been forced to retire with mechanical problems. Hopefully, I will have the same opportunity at Imola, which is a very exciting track with a great racing tradition - one of the last traditional drivers' circuits left on the calendar." 

Albers added, I am really looking forward to the first European GP of 2006. I was very impressed with the new parts we tested at Silverstone, which should help us move forward. The car is really improving, and Tiago, Giorgio and I will do everything to show that MF1 Racing is on the way up. Imola is a nice track with a great atmosphere, and I can't wait to get back in the car again. Maximum attack!"
