Hmm Ive heard that rumor also, although id put my money on Enge or Bourdais perhaps getting a drive, I belive they have tests with Minardi scheduled. If not one of them perhaps Anthony Davidson? He drove for the team and whilst he didnt finish he didnt disgrace himself.

ant sdays he doesnt want to be a pay driver, but he´ll have to pay at minardi, so it´s unlikely

Same here, and Im not just saying that because Im british. Wilson has really impressed me particauly in 2001. Especially in 2001 with his F3000 campagin. Took him a while to adapt to the TWS cars because of 0 testing but got to grips with the car mid way through the season.
World champion in 6 years I bet. |

How impressive can he be in the worst car on the grid? I know he's an excellent pilot, but I have my doubts that he'll ever win an F1 race. How many former Minardi pilots have? (honest question)

Well thats debatable, the minardi being the worst car on the grid that is. In 2002 Webber outperformed the Arrows and Toyotas on a few occasions with a car that had a good chasis but lacked power. In 2003 with the Cosworths well it wont put them at the front of the order but I bet they wont be at the back of the pack like we are so used to seeing.
About Paul Stoddart I dont remember him saying that the 2nd driver will be dutch but him saying that its likely to be Dutch. I dont see him being too keen to sign Verstappen. Still u may be right on this one, I just havent seen anything to suggest that the 2nd driver will defintly be Dutch. |

Sorry, but, no matter how good Wilson does, is a top team ever going to build a car big enough for him? Isn't it right that Minardi are building the car around him?
Good luck to the kid though...Let's hope he gets that money back "when he's world champion in 6years". |
