    Giorgio Pantano

    The news that GP was quickest in testing got me thinking - what does this guy have to do to catch a break, or has he found his level in GP2?

    This will be his 7th season in F3000/GP2 where he's proved to be a regular winner. He's tested for Benetton, McLaren, Williams and raced for Jordan in F1 as well as trying his hand in the US with Ganassi, so I guess you could argue he's had his chances.

    He's probably good enough for F1 but his time as a promising young talent is over, and as a result people aren't looking at him, even though he could do a decent job if he came back now.

    Maybe he should look Stateside in 09 as he is obviously good and I agree he will be very very lucky to get a ride in a good F1 car. Anything is possible though and his Father and girlfriend paid for his Jordan racing I think before Eddie J sacked him ( Montreal ?) and kept the money! Good old Eddie. I like the fact he keeps coming back and obviously enjoying himself. Would love him to win it as then Bernie would have a Series perception problem if the fourth Champ did not go F1 and say the WSbyR did! lots of fun!
