High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Minardi M01 was the car with which the Minardi Formula One team used to compete in the 1999 Formula One season. It was designated 01 because the team felt that the car marked a new beginning for the team. It was driven by Luca Badoer, who had previously driven for Minardi in 1995 and was Ferrari's test driver at the time, and Marc Gene, a Spanish rookie. Prost test driver Stephane Sarrazin also drove the car for one race after Badoer broke his hand in a testing accident. Despite the fact that the car represented a major step forward for a team of Minardi's small budget, they remained near or at the back of the grid, in a season-long battle with the Arrows team. Brunner identified the car's greatest shortcoming as its aerodynamics, as the Faenza outfit could not afford long periods of time using wind tunnels. However, the team did score their first points in four years when Gene finished sixth at the Nurburgring, but this was only after Badoer retired from fourth with a gearbox failure with 13 laps remaining.
