Fisichella hopes for a top drive

Giancarlo Fisichella has a two-year deal to drive for Sauber but the Italian says that he is hoping to be in a position to jump into one of the top teams in 2005 - if the opportunity presents itself.

"My dream is to drive for one of the top three teams," he says, "I have to show them how strong I am. I hope to score a lot of points this year."

Fisichella has confirmed that he will test for Ferrari at some point this year.

"I do not know where or when but I will be doing a test this year."

Fisichella says that he has talked to Peter Sauber and it has been agreed that the two will discuss the future if Fisichella does get an offer from Williams, McLaren or Ferrari.
