Following the news that Jordan has signed Tiago Monteiro and Narain Karthikeyan for 2005, Agatha Christie's famous thriller comes to mind,

We refer of course to Ten Little Indians, one of the legendary crime writer's most famous who-dunnits.

Following yesterday's announcement, and four weeks exactly before the 2005 season kicks off, there is but one seat remaining, the second Minardi alongside Christijan Albers.

One could of course include Red Bull Racing, however, it appears that like Midland F1 (Jordan), the Austrian team regards 2005 as a year of transition and will therefore experiment, probably using both Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi during the season.

There are several names being linked with the second seat at Minardi, but the Italian outfit is in no rush to make any announcements and will simply make the long line of eager - well funded - hopefuls, sweat it out until a few days before Melbourne.
