Is the replacement of Pizzonia instead of Gene a good choice

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

What do people think about the choise of Antonio Pizzonia as a second driver of Williams instead of Marc Gene, once it seems that the performances of Marc seems not too good for the Williams stuff, and they decided to get Pizzonia as long as Ralf Schumacher is not able to drive for the Formula 1?

In my opinion, Antonio is slower than Marc on the race, and qualifying as well..........and when challenging, i see Antonio more likely to finish off the road due to a drivers failure than Marc. In addition, i see Marc much better when setting a car up

Thats my opinion....see what you think about the replacement

Should be discussed in news and rumours where the pizzonia news was first made (I assume)

My opinion: Gene hasn't performed, Pizzonia has shown greater potential. He's the obvious choice out of the two

None of them are good choice -- althought Eddie Jordan is an ass, but Hiedfield worths more than 3 millions to Williams at this difficult time, and no doubt he's well deserved for that Willimas 2005 seat too.

Now even Mark in not in Williams's scope, what the hell has happened to Williams this year?

I think the best choice is Gene not only because he is the man with more km of the team , he has also been very professional working for the team for 2 years noly testing and not complaining because he doesn`t race.

Testing is completely different from racing. Times in tests (like Barcelona recently) means nothing. No pressure. No big names braking next to you. I prefer Pizzonia, but the first race was also deceiving. Bad time (1st pressure session), average race (some off road trips). He is not worse than Gené, but not that better.

pizzonia failed to impress in his first outing in the williams. let us wait and see his performance in the next gp before we make any conclusions. in hindsight, ej should have let heidfeld drive the williams.

Pizzonia is slow too -- Only "quick Nick" is capable atm.
