Collecting the necessary 300kms
Midland`s MF1 team will apply for at least two, and probably three, F1 super licenses at the end of the Valencia test.
Young German Markus Winkelhock, and Swiss-Italian Giorgio Mondini, ran at the Spanish circuit this week with the primary objective of collecting the necessary 300kms in order to qualify for the mandatory FIA document.
Completing the trio of drivers likely to share the `Friday` car in 2006, Adrian Sutil will do his laps on Thursday.
A statement admitted that Mondini`s objective on Wednesday was `running more than 300km`, while team manager Manfredi Ravetto admitted to `Auto Motor Und Sport` that Winkelhock`s plan was also `to complete a full grand prix distance`.

Mondini, Italian-born but with Swiss nationality, will complete at least nine Fridays for MF1 this year, with the German magazine claiming that Sutil and Winkelhock are likely to do about four official practices each.

Further, Auto Motor Und Sport revealed that Sutil, also German, would probably run at Imola, Monaco, the Nurburgring and Suzuka, while Winkelhock - nicknamed `Winki` by the team - was penned to drive at least at the Hockenheimring track.
