Minuy600

Minuy600 is a Dutch racing driver, currently competing in Formula 1 CMP for the McLaren team.

1999
Minuy debuted in Formula 1 CMP for Arrows. He quickly gained the interest of many fans of the sport. This was mostly due to an inspiring drive during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, where Minuy qualified in seventh place and quickly took the lead after various race leaders hit issues. After a slow pitstop, however, he dropped down to second place, where he would remain after fending off Mika Häkkinen. Other performances of note included his first ever points finish at the Monaco Grand Prix, with sixth, and a fourth place in qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix.

These performances helped Minuy finish eleventh in the World Drivers' Championship and Arrows sixth in the Constructors'.

2000
Minuy signed a deal with BAR to race with them for the 2000 season. He reportedly turned down a deal to race at Jordan that season, citing 'BAR had the more interesting potential of the two'.

Minuy earned the team's first ever podium and his second with a third place at the Australian Grand Prix. Another podium followed at the San Marino Grand Prix, while also scoring his and BAR's first ever pole position two races later at the Spanish Grand Prix.

His last race with BAR came at the Monaco Grand Prix, where he finished in second place. This impressive performance lead McLaren to sign him inmediately afterwards, dropping their reigning Drivers' Champion David Coulthard in favor of the young Dutchman.

Although initially it had seemed as if he lacked consistency and only scored points once in his first 5 races for the the team, he ended up making amends near the end of the season, scoring his first podium for the British outfit in Belgium, and finally taking his first victory in the sport at the season finale in Malaysia. This impressive form lead McLaren to retain him for another season.
