      <description><![CDATA[
Minardi boss Paul Stoddart has defended his decision to take on drivers who
can bring financial backing to the team, saying they are not just 'pay
drivers'. Teams have been criticized in the past for hiring anyone who can
effectively buy the race seat but have no real talent behind the wheel.
Stoddart said he wanted worthy drivers but has never hidden the fact that
Minardi needs money ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/stoddart-defends-pay-driver-decision/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

McLaren intend to start the 2003 season with this year's car, the MP4-17,
because there is still more to be exploited from it, said managing director
Martin Whitmarsh. The new MP4-18 is unlikely to be used until the
championship reaches the European races, starting with the fourth round at
San Marino, but the current chassis is by no means the same as it was this
season.
