That's good news, Liuzzi is a very good driver, and I think he will do well in 2003, Coloni is a good team.

really Bella? The conventional wisdom within karting used to be that he was skint as hell and CRG paid his way since he was about 11. I don't know how much he gets off his sponsors now though.

I believe he was tested in Formula Ford, and was ok but not ok enough

he was second in German Formula Renault whilst winning the world kart champ. Granted Peter Collins helped him get a Williams test, but the guy is the real deal.

Mr Jinxx, that's not really surprising considering the grip levels of FSA/FC/FRS on one hand and FFord on the other. You'd expect someone to take a bit longer to adjust.
