"Giorgio Pantano - Statement from Brask Management
12 June 2004
Canadian Grand Prix
"A lot has been said about the farcical event regarding Giorgio this week. Most has been factually correct, but missing out on the nuances.
To put the record straight herewith some facts; Giorgio is contracted to Pantano Motor Sport Ltd. Giorgio is the major shareholder of this company, which holds all his rights in regard to motor sport. This company is co-owned by Brask Management Ltd. Brask Management provides funding, manages and look after the commercial issues related to Giorgio's racing career.
Jordan, Giorgio and Pantano Motor Sport have an agreement for each other's services. This agreement is honoured to this date i.e. not breached from our side. The personal issues, that have been talked about in regard to the reason for Giorgio not participating in this week end's Grand Prix, has to do with an obligation, which Giorgio's father hasn't lived up to towards Jordan and Pantano Motor Sport/Brask Management.
