Murphy signs for F1 team Minardi

Dublin-born racing driver Greg Murphy has signed for the Minardi Formula One team and will drive for their junior team in the Asian Formula Three Championship.

Murphy, the first Irish driver to be signed to a Formula One team since Eddie Irvine (1992), was signed following a competitive international shoot-out held in the Philippines in March.

Murphy will have his first drive in the Asian Formula 3 Championship which begins on April 9 in the Philippines.
