with aluminium alloy pistons and a steel crankshaft. It had a capacity of 2998 cc and delivered about 860 bhp at 18,300 rpm, about 60 bhp more than the previous season's CK2004 engine. It was the same unit as the one used by Red Bull during the first part of the season, as the Austrian team received a more powerful version for the United States Grand Prix onwards. Racing history In terms of performance, the car was regularly towards the back of the field, with occasional midfield finishes. It performed better at high downforce circuits such as Monaco and Hungary. The car showed a poor performance in its debut in Imola, with lap times six seconds slower on average than the frontrunners and one second behind other backmarkers. Although both drivers complained about a lack of grip, team owner Paul Stoddart believed the potential of the new car bodied "very well for the future." Minardi were faster than Jordan at the Monaco Grand Prix, as both drivers set faster lap times during qualifying.

Albers also started in front of both Jordans in Hungaroring. Only once in normal circumstances did the PS05 qualify in front of a team besides Jordan. In Montréal, Albers was 0.03 seconds faster than Christian Klien of Red Bull for a 15th place start. At the United States Grand Prix, Albers and Friesacher finished one lap behind fourth place in a six-car race. In Suzuka, Albers took advantage of the weather conditions during qualifying to secure 13th place on the grid, but nothing came of it. The team weren't able to finish a single race within the same lap as the race winners. Reliability At the San Marino Grand Prix, both drivers retired within the first 20 laps of the race: Friesacher's car had a broken clutch shaft, while the no. 21 car had a fluid leak that could potentially ruin the gearbox as well. The PS05 retired due to gearbox-related issues again in Spain, while minor gearbox problems also happened in Monaco, Europe, Canada, United States, Great Britain, Turkey and China. Both cars stalled at the start of the Spanish Grand Prix, due to electronic control problems. At the French Grand Prix, the team
