Monty 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 What do you think? IMO so far test drivers getting a racing role so far haven't really done justice ( eg Gene. Davidson, Pizzonia) Perhaps I'm wrong. can you guys think of any test drivers that have shone after stepping in to the race driver role? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pumpdoc 2 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I think Pedro will do ok as he has had a lot of miles in the car so it won't be like he's going in cold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Pedro will go ok, i don't think he'll quite be matching Kimi, but i think he can score some points, he's not a bad driver IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C.A.L. 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 Pedro will have alot of his potential for this race appear as the practice sessions are unfolding ....should BARF1 and Ferrari suddenly get their cars to perform way better than what we have seen so far he will left struggling with the likes of Klein and D.C.. Sauber might even sqeek a car past him should Pedro faulter in final qualifing. Pedro is not having it easy for being in a good car because there is alot of other considerations he will have to face for the first time. He could even crash out before the race by not allowing himself to be tempered in his exuberance to perform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
