Veronica Magazine today confirmed that it will be an official sponsor of Minardi F1 Team driver, Christijan Albers. The first indication of the arrangement came during the Australian Grand Prix weekend, when the logo of The Netherlands' best-selling weekly magazine appeared on Albers' distinctive orange and black helmet.

Edition No 10 of Veronica Magazine, which appeared in the stores the Tuesday after the Australian race, published an interview with Holland's only Formula 1 driver. During the season, Veronica Magazine will carry regular coverage of Albers and the Minardi Formula 1 Team. Albers will also attend several Veronica Magazine events.

Peter Contant, Editor-in-Chief of Veronica Magazine, says of the sponsorship arrangement, "Christijan is the most talented Dutch Formula One driver competing at this time. Veronica Magazine is the best, largest and most trendy magazine in The Netherlands, and thus we find a connection with Chris. Through our sponsorship, we express our trust in his racing talent."
