Galaxy-brained moment:
Ayrton Senna and Giancarlo Minardi were so close,
it's possible Senna could've driven for Minardi at some point in his future.
Sure, he wouldn't be able to turn Minardi into a top team, but Senna
knew the team needed money and talent to survive, so his stint at Minardi could help the team stay afloat and even score some points; most likely, Minardi ends up in more or less the same mid-tier position Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri/RB ended up, perhaps slightly less successful than that, but still largely adhering to Giancarlo Minardi's remarkably un-corporate and relaxed (for Formula One standards) ethos.
As time goes on, the team builds up the same kind of youth-oriented grassroots efforts and facilities that, in OTL, Valentino Rossi financed for motorcycle racing in Romagna, except for automobile racing, something that'd be very in character for a Giancarlo Minardi that isn't having money issues; perhaps, they also get into electric and/or hydrogen, due to some young drivers of theirs being kind of torn about the whole oil consumption aspect of the sport.
