Pizzonia to try GP2

Antonio Pizzonia is to test for Fisichella Motor Sport in GP2. The 25-year-old Brazilian driver still wants to rebuild an F1 career although he will then be heading off to Australia where he is due to race for the Rocketsport Champ Car team at the race in Surfers' Paradise.

Testing alongside Pizzonia will be German Adrian Sutil and Spain's Andy Soucek. FMS is looking for a new team leader for next year as Giorgio Pantano is moving on next year and is rumoured to be on his way to Campos Racing.

Sutil (22) is racing this year in Japanese Formula 3 and has been testing on occasions with the MF1 team while Soucek (21) is a former Spanish Formula 3 Champion who has been a star in this year's Renault World Series and is currently leading the series.
