This morning around 11am the PSO5 with Christijan Albers at them helm gave the new Minardi PS05 its first shakedown at Mugello behind closed doors.

The pictures come from F1Racing.net who are of course one of Christijan Albers sponsors, so its not surprising they had exclusive pictures of the PS05 at Mugello.

The cars radical side pods no longer look like two "boxes" attacked to the side of the car and with its radical exhaust looks very smooth.

With more test mileage and a race distance under its belt its sure to give the Jordan's a run for their money.
