Nyt on ilmeisesti selvää, että Minardi on mukana lauantain aika-ajoissa. Sen sijaan itse kilpailuun osallistuminen on vielä harkinnan alla.

Stoddart's Minardi team will qualify Saturday
Formula One team Minardi was late Friday granted a court injunction to compete in qualifying sessions for the season-opening Australian Grand Prix after race officials had ordered them to comply with new regulations.
A judge in the Victorian Supreme Court ruled that the F1 minnows could participate in Saturday qualifying given that the matter was considered urgent.
Minardi team principal Paul Stoddart sought the court injunction after FIA stewards had told his team they had to comply with the 2005 safety regulations to participate in the Australian GP.
The court was adjourned until Saturday when the issue could be discussed further, the presiding judge said.
Stoddart said outside the court he was relieved his cars could get on the track on Saturday.
"Now it's in the hands of the court, I really can't say anymore than that except that Minardi will be participating tomorrow, as usual, at the Grand Prix," Stoddart said. "It's really fantastic to actually get on the track in the wake of all the publicity."
Earlier FIA stewards blocked Minardi's efforts to start their cars over the weekend unless the struggling team complied with new regulations.
