Testing with the team tomorrow and learning the car.

Personally, I dont think that they need another rookie, even if he was a runner-up Indy Lights last year..

I think Richard's a good choice. Solid if not spectacular background, I'd say its an impovement on Stanton or Jacques.

Hopefully - He will fare better than Uncle Eddie.

I suspect experience and talent has little to do with the choice of driver, but I'm sure money has. I suspect if and when stanton drums up some more cash, He'll be back in that car.

Remember watching him at Silverstone in 2001 a Formula Renault driving a Nastro Azzurro Peroni backed car (mmm....good beer), I think he finished not too far behind current McLaren F1 driver Heikki Kovalainen who won the race IIRC. Always wondered what happened to him.

I had the impression they were very low on funds, and missing the 500 didn't improve that at all. I can't believe they are paying a driver, when they have one available already. My guess at this stage they need all the money they can get.
