The Brazillian Proved To Jaguar boss that he was a fast driver and shouldn't have been given the boot with 5 races of the 2003 season left.
And as you can see beating Schumi by 3 tenths isn't easy.

What Do U Think?

Well in tests we can´t considerate the results as a "view" of the best drivers. The conditions are so relative, and in most cases they´re not driving at the limits, depending of the team programe on the day. So it´s so relative, but you can see off course that pizzonia is a good driver. Even fired from British team jaguar last year for a "bad" driving year and conditions i guess he is fast.

Racing and testing are two completely different situations. What this proves to the Jaguar boss is that Pizzonia is a good tester. We'll all see in March how good these cars really are.

its who wins a race that counts

And yet, we do not know what the testing program was. What tyres & fuel Pizzonia was running. So far the testing has shown the Williams to be a fast car but it's just impossible to really know. And, like the others have said - testing is totally different to a race weekend. He doesn't seem to have the ability to set a car up and do the fast laps when they really count. And besides - if Pizzonia is this much faster than Schumacher and the other Williams drivers then shouldn't Frank Williams be in a mad rush to hire Mark Webber considering how much quicker he was than Antonio last year? ;)

He got a chance to prove himself already, he had already gotten tons of millage from testing before joining the real races, and he never once showed any potential, what more could he ask for?
