Tämä tarkoittaa suurella todennäköisyydellä että ei kumpikaan junnuista saa testikuskin paikkaa Williamsilta. Nico Rosberg eikä Nelson pique eivät saa testimiehen paikkaa Williamsilta
Antonio Pizzonia will be signed as BMW-Williams' second full-time development driver for the 2004 Formula One season, according to an insider. The source revealed that Pizzonia, who filled the role in 2002 until bombing as a Jaguar race ace, will support the efforts of over-worked Spaniard Marc Gene.
Gene, 28, drove more than 15,000kms of testing for Williams last season. 'Sometimes it was six days running,' said the Catalunya-born driver, 'and that's too much. 'As far as I know, [the bosses] have made a decision.'
Marc hinted that his '04 cohort will be someone 'experienced.' 'It's better this way,' he continued, 'because we don't really want to spend time teaching someone how to do the job. 'The more experience he has the better.'
At the launch of the radical-looking FW26 car at Valencia on Monday, technical director Patrick Head confirmed that 22-year-old Pizzonia is on 'the list.' He added: 'I can't confirm what you're asking but it's a possibility.'
