Pizzonia testing/drive
Shame to see the Pizzonia was not at Silverstone, was he anywhere at all? Also anynews on a 2005 drive and will he now become, should he stay, the third driver above Gene?

i think his only hope of a race seat next year is if jenson button stays at BAR...if that does happen they'll be no time to find anyone else, or the top guys will be taken, so williams will have no choice to run him. not that i think they'd be too unhappy about that as they seem to love him in grove.

Pizzonia can't be a third driver for Williams, this year or next.
Under article 58B - the teams third driver must Quote:
Ricardo Zonta's third driver role is also in jeopardy under this regulation, unless he doesn't compete in at least one of the remaining rounds. |

I suspect we may see Jarno Trulli do at least one of the remaining races, with Zonta just doing Brazil.
Toyota have already announced Zonta as their Friday tester for next year. |

Though personally I think Trulli should focus on next year and not drive the uncompetitive Toyota outside of a test track for this season...and just wait and see what Gascoyne digs out next year. Toyota could always run Briscoe for one race...or 'do a Renault' & sign up Damon Hill for the last three |

Someone here can't count. Hungary, Belgium, Italy, China, Japan and Brazil equals six - the regualtion says "not been a nominated driver for a Formula One team in more than six World Championship Events during the two previous World Championships." - in other words, 6 races is fine.

I was just thinking the same thing, Boots.
I still think we may see Trulli do at least one race this year though, but I expect Zonta will do Brazil. |
