FISI BECOMES GP2 TEAM OWNER

Giancarlo Fisichella will join forces with Coloni Motorsport to field a team in the GP2 series next season.

The Renault star’s Fisichella Motorsport squad, which he co-owns with his manager Enrico Zanarini, won the Italian Formula 3000 title this year with driver Luca Filippi.

Now FMS is set to make the step up to GP2 – the feeder category to F1 – by forming a joint venture with existing GP2 team owner Paolo Coloni.

The self-styled ‘Italian superteam’ will be called Fisichella Motorsport International and aims to topple the rival ART outfit, which won this year’s inaugural GP2 championship with Nico Rosberg.


“I am very excited about this new team, a partnership that myself and the Coloni family wanted very much,” said Fisichella.


“I am sure that we will carry on the excellent work we started last year in the Italian F.3000 Championship.


“I am confident that the GP2 team will enable us to achieve important international goals.”

"You just don't mess with Jacques Villeneuve" - Murray Walker, 1997 Hungarian GP.
"When Jacques was with us, he was a very aggressive driver, fiercely competitive, mentally hard as nails. Very quick with it, very gifted. A bright fellow, undoubtedly, very intelligent. He was an absolutely born racing driver - look at the way he'd bang wheels with Michael, pass people on the outside, that kind of thing" -Sir Frank Williams on Jacques Villeneuve
"This year, with BMW, JV's going very well, and I'm pleased for him. Whether or not he'll get a drive next year I don't know, but I hope he does, he's an unusual, and very strong addition to the F1 community. A character." - Sir Frank Williams again on Jacques Villeneuve
The Nojvnof1 2006 driver lineup - Jacques Villeneuve, Nico Rosberg, Christian Klein, Scott Speed.
