 On a sunny winter day, Atlas F1's Ross Stonefeld and his photographer David Cameron took the train down south to the small town of Faenza, for a guided tour of the Minardi factory. They came back with an exclusive look inside 
 
This is the rear entrance to the main factory.
 
 
Turning left there is a 5-axis milling machine manufactured by the Italians JOBS corporation. It is directly linked to the design offices upstairs. Here it is cutting a mold for a new tub.
 
 
Massimo was on hand to demonstrate the smaller machine as he cut a mold for a front wing piece from TB650 tooling board.
