Pizzonia back in action in the US

Antonio Pizzonia turned up in the F1 paddock in Budapest recently, looking to see if there was any chance of work in the future. The former Jaguar Racing and Williams driver presumably did not hear what he wanted to hear as he is to return to Champ Car racing this weekend at the wheel of a Rocketsports Lola in Montreal. Pizzonia made a good impression in his first Champ Car race in Long Beach and hopes to do an even better job in Montreal, a track that he knows as he raced there with Jaguar in 2003.

Pizzonia has talked to a number of Champ Car teams about next year and is believed to be on a few shopping lists although the teams are currently employing others and so he has had to try his luck with the less than competitive Rocketsports operation.
