Jaguar is a real comedy of mistakes! Niki had his mouth open too early! Burti will race by Prost already in Barcelona and Pedro de la Rosa is back on the grid, at Jag.
At least, Mazzacane is gone for good! Alain was pretty smart on this one... |

I think this works out perfectly for all involved. Maybe this was the outcome Niki was hoping for. Burti has a drive with a team he has a long term future with, Prost has a driver who can maybe push Alesi a bit, de la Rosa gets a chance at a race drive again (returning for his home Grand Prix, I wish him well) and Prost can offload Mazzacane (I have nothing against the bloke, but he really shouldn't be in F1).
Seems to me everybody(except poor Gaston) has a reason to be happy. |

Yeah, I think all involved are quite happy. Mazzacane had his chance to prove himself but he hasn't exactly been electric has he? Prost need someone who can push the car hard and help develop it with Alesi.
Jag have now got an even better (IMHO) lineup, P de la R impressed me with Arrows last year, should go well in the Jag. Bet he hasa smile on his face right about now... What is it with Jag and Prost, playing musical F1 drivers, first in pre-season, now this! Andy |

Prost first asked Gene and Zonta, so Burti was'nt their first choice, I think PSN is OK with Mazzacash going if the driver that's replacing him speeks spanish or portugese.
Mazza had trouble keeping Marques behind him, that's really terrible, he does'nt belong in F1. |
