NEWS STORY

Antonio Pizzonia has been confirmed as Mark Webber's teammate for the forthcoming Brazilian Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old replaced regular racer Nick Heidfeld in the Italian and Belgian events, but has now been retained for the Brazilian Grand Prix, following the German's bicycle accident at the weekend in which he injured his shoulder.

"Obviously I am very happy I’ve been given the opportunity to race again, particularly as Brazil is my home race," said Antonio. "It will be very special for me to race in front of a home crowd so I can’t wait.

"Interlagos is a great track," he added, "one which I really enjoy driving so I’m hoping to have a good weekend. The bumps make it quite a tricky circuit and a unique one when it comes to set-up of the car. The weather can be unpredictable in Sao Paulo and I wouldn’t be surprised if we had some rain this year.

"It was good for me to be in the car this week at Silverstone, where we tested for two days, so I now feel better prepared for the race."
