How long will Gene replace Ralf for???

I am thinking that a driver that is in the running for the 2005 drive will be asked to slot in for the rest of the season starting in Germany and that should be Webber, why, because he will be leaving Jag at the end of the year anyway and this can give Jag some cash to help develop their car if they release him early. Anyway Williams will be saving almost $1M per race by not having ralfie in the car as his insurance will cover his contract whislt he is recovering. Win/win for all parties.

Wouldnt it be great to see webber and montoya in the same car and see who comes out on top?

hey Holywood you said INSURANCE will cover Ralf ? What sort of insurance ? I would have thought would be difficult to get "Workers Compensation Insurance" for motor racing !

i likw your line of thinking hollywood but its not going to happen. R$ is out for 12 weeks wich if im not wrong will not take him to the end of the seasion. but Jag will never let webber go befour the end of the seasion. i heard somthing that Webber will not be set free from his jag contrace until around Spa. i men if Jag are 6th or better by Sap he has to stay at Jag.

rodders they have "temporary income continuance insurance" which is similar to our income protection insurance, but due to the dangerous nature of their occupation the premiums are very large.

This covers a driver if he is ill from his duties as a driver and as such, williams do not have to pay his salary ofr the time he is off sick
