Panis is back
As reported a few weeks ago Panis has been the third driver for Toyota at Magny Cours. He ran through Toyota's program, but also said "I enjoyed myself a lot". What a buzz driving an F1 car must be even for those who have started 158 GP.
http://news.google.co.uk/news?q=Pani...en&sa=N&tab=wn On another point, this weekends French GP will be the first French GP since the begining of time without a French driver. At least Renault is doing well. |

Yes it is 40 years, as the Autosport article says. I was exaggerating somewhat. Its significance is no less.

Friday drivers are Grand Prix drivers, according to Michelin who counted 19 signatures from 8 2-car teams.

They are indeed, Boots, but for the purposes of this statistic, we're looking at "race" drivers.

(IIRC, the "next" one ---the 1964 French GP--- had a French driver who had been in F1 since 1950; I've skipped a number of similar periods before getting to 1965 ... ) |

I would assume all pre-war French GP had French drivers in it (?)
