According to Autosport Dario's test with Jaguar this week is just a formailty and the deal to bring him to F1 is 95% done.
Any views out there on how he's likely to cope in Grand Prix's, is he going to do a Villienueve or a Zanardi? |

OH. A Villeneuve. No doubt about that. In fact with the right equippment he could do an even better job. He's a really great driver and it seems that my dream of seeing the Franchitti-Montoya duel move to F1 will come true.
Those 2 are really REALLY outstanding drivers....very different in stily both both equaly effective. |

From what I know he has a very smooth driving style which will suit him well in F1. Plus Eddie and Dario would seem to make good team mates, they both have very good public images as far as Jaguar is concerned.
Any details? Where when? |

Luciano Burti's outstanding perfomance subing for irvine should give him the edge.

I hope he comes, but in an improved Jag.
Who would get to keep the saltire (St. Andrews cross) on their helmet? |

Since there seems to be a difference in the handling of a Formula One car opposite to a Champ Car, I think it's difficult to say what he will do.
Some will succeed (Villeneuve) and some won't (Zanardi). So, for the moment I think the best thing for him to do is to do a Franchitti. |

Kenny, about the saltire.
Dario may have to change his design, as I believe David has put a copyright on the saltire design on his helmet, so that it cannot be copied. I don't know wat UK laws say about this but it might be interesting. |
