At first sight, the Minardi PS04B looks outwardly similar to the 2003 PS03, which is unsurprising given the current stability of Formula One technical regulations. The basic 'architecture' of most teams' cars remains largely unchanged for the 2004 season, although FIA-mandated modifications relating to the dimensions of the engine cover and rear wing end plates have been taken into consideration.
A closer examination of Minardi's new car, however, reveals a wealth of detail change compared with its immediate predecessor, particularly in the area of aerodynamics. Among the major differences are new bodywork, floor, diffuser and front wing, as well as the required alterations to the engine cover and rear wing. The team, in combination with technical partner, Magneti Marelli, has also spent considerable time since the end of the 2003 season developing and improving its on-board electronic systems, and in particular, control software relating to the engine, gearbox and clutch.
