Pedro de la Rosa's Jaguar inauguration...

[Sparky]

Poor PDLR; First race weekend in the car, and he has a freak steering failure:

From Autosport:

The Spaniard's running was cut short when just 10 minutes into the session his R2 mysteriously veered right and into the wall at the end of the pitlane leaving the car stranded and down to three wheels. A steering problem was the suspected culprit.

More importantly, will this shake his confidence in the car? Let's hope he can improve on 21st in qualifying later today.

And I can't help but wonder if Burti's smiling to himself in the Prost?
