Saelens to run for Minardi

Paul Stoddart has confirmed his enthusiasm for the talents of David Saelens by giving the 27-year-old a test at Monza on the Tuesday following the Belgian Grand Prix.

Belgian Saelens has served as a development and substitute driver for Faenza-based Minardi in the past, but in an interview with Belgian newspaper “La Dernière Heure” he dismissed the significance of the run amid a claim he was to take over from Alex Yoong replacement Anthony Davidson at the Italian Grand Prix.

‘Your thoughts go faster than mine!’ laughed Saelens. ‘Paul needs me and I shall be there. I do not see further than that. Anyway, Paul Stoddart knows that I have no budget while Davidson does.

‘Sincerely, I ignore who will be in the car during the Grand Prix of Italy: Yoong, Davidson, (Bryan) Herta or anyone else. I am not even sure that Stoddart knows it himself.’

Saelens said he was looking forward to his drive, which will be part of a significant test for Alex Yoong, the Malaysian trying to regain his confidence after three non-qualifications this season.
