#27 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Minassian Out

According to Autosport, future CART/IRL team Brand Motorsports have fired Nicolas Minassian after he threatened a team member. I also read somewhere that this was a hallmark of his British F3 days.

Does anybody know whether his attitude problem had anything to do with Ganassi firing him in 2001? Or was he just too slow? After all, he did qualify in the second week for the Indy 500 (mechanical problems took him out of the race).

Aight guys, late.

Check out the thread on this in the F3000 forum, which has both sides of the story, and my personal take on this.

I'm not sure it needs to be here, as I don't expect Brand to even be ont he track this year in CART, if ever. Minassian may ahve blown another chance, or the chance may not have really existed.
