Marc Gene
Perhaps this should be part of the qualifying thread, but I have to say I was impressed by Gene's performance this afternoon. OK, so he knows the car and team well, and has been testing at Monza for the past week, but, even so, he was called up at the last minute (while still asleep, if James Allen is to be believed) and put the car fifth, a showing Ralf Schumacher hasn't always matched this year. Gerhard Berger was once rather slighting about ex-racers who test, saying effectively that they did so because they weren't good enough for race seats, but Gene impressed me during his stint with Minardi (how long ago that seems!) and has done so again. A race seat for 2004, perhaps?
