Klien! Has potential and comes with sponsorship. The other drivers have talent but not enough to outweigh Klien's combo of talent and cash. Good choice Jag!

Jacques Villenueve for pure racing ability and experience but as far as money for the team goes I would say they have made a good choice plus they can mold him to how they want him if he stays long enough

Justin - proved himself worthy of a decent crack in F3000/Minardi, but then never really given a chance in limited races with an unfamiliar car.

Never quite understood how to use these polls.
If your choice isn't one of the "names" on the poll, there is the option for Other (please state}, but how do you state who your "other" is? |

Voted for Klien. Teams have got to give talented young drivers their F1 debut some day, and he's about as talented as they come. Zandvoort Marlboro Masters champ and 2nd in the EuroSeries ahead of Rosberg et al. Also brings money which is the other thing Jag need.
Close 2nd is Wilson. Talent but no money. 3rd is Heidfeld. Again, talent but no money. Equal 4th are Verstappen and Bell. One has never proved much in F1 and is a hot-head, the other hasn't been stunning in F3000 like Liuzzi has. |

Justin Dawkins is definately the right man for the job, in my view. it's a shame they've chosen Klien. They say they're prioritising youth, but they gave Pizzonia 11 races and Wilson 5 before dumping them. If Klien lasts longer, it'll be down to Red Bull money.

I voted for Bell. To have an American in F1 would have been fantastic. And now the Jacques is no longer there, this whole continent remains unrepresented.

Although I'd also like to see an American in F1, I wouldn't choose Bell just because he's American. I chose Klien because that's who Jaguar chose, and I don't see any reason to second-guess them.
I hope he does very well and pushes Webber to greater success and helps Jaguar improve. |

I'd say Heidfeld, but I'm pretty much OK with Klien

I'd say Nick out of that list followed by Wilson then Klien but Klien needs to be sign regardless as Jag has no full time tester / backup driver .
Off list Wurz would be No 1 hands down |

Someone who drives a dump truck for a living but just won the lottery. I don't think anyone will do well at Jaguar right now. Say what you will about Pizzonia and Wilson, but they're not seconds a lap slower than Webber.
