I think Giorgio is struggling for money.
Super Nova are stringing along two of the best F3000 drivers out there. Now the signing of Monteiro is confirmed, either Bourdais or Pantano is going to be left out in the cold, with very little time to find a seat. A little unfair I feel, as the only other available seats now are with European and Coloni. I suspect that's how this rumour started - what would Giorgio do if....
Personally I think Pantano is overrated, he made far too many costly mistakes last year, like throwing it off on his out lap in qualifying at Hockenheim and outdriving himself on the closing laps at Silverstone, throwing away a points finish, if I remember correctly.
