Zonta racked with nerves

RICARDO ZONTA has said that he extremely nervous as he prepares to take the driver's seat in Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.

And the former British American Racing driver added that he would do his best for Heinz-Harald Frentzen and the Jordan team.

"It is a big disappointment for Heinz," said Zonta. "And I really hope to do a good job for him and the team.

"This race will be tougher for me than my Grand Prix debut, but I'm excited to be racing in the car again."

Frentzen could now miss this week's three-day testing session at Silverstone if he fails to recover in time, and he admitted that he was upset to be missing out on Sunday's race.

"I'm disappointed not to be driving this weekend," said Frentzen. "But I wish Ricardo Zonta and the team all the best, and look forward to being back at Nurburgring."
