Eric 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 If this Gil de Ferran guy is interested in Barrichello of the 2009 ALMS season & if they make consistent improvements to the car, should be a good line-up & maybe challenge the Penske in a lot of races. I doubt he's interested. And "this Gil de Ferran" guy was the Director of Competition at Honda F1 but stepped down last year, and more importantly he is the 2000 and 2001 CART champion, as well as the 2003 Indianapolis 500 winner.

goferrarigo 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Take the Force India point but it is possible Fisico won't be there in 2009, as it was reported that if neither driver perform then they will be replaced, initially by Liuzzi but after that who knows. Yeah but changing both drivers is not a gamble FI can take... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dribbler 6 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Yeah but changing both drivers is not a gamble FI can take... Exactly. Leave them be. They both have form. Public scaremongering of your drivers has always been one of F1's most pointless endeavours, quite literally. Confidence breeds confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Bah, let the guy race. He is no Ralfie. He already proved many tiumes that he is a more than worthy addition to the grid. He arned his place and wants to use it because he loves it.Is he past his prime? Haven't Coulthard been past his prime for the last 5 years at least? Give Rubinho a break!
