I've become an Alonso fan this year because he's my age and I like his driving style. I see a very bright future for him.

The test with jaguar was in 1st-july-2002

The talented young Spaniard Fernando Alonso has been secured by Jaguar-Racing to test its cars in a one-off, three-day test this week at Silverstone.

Jaguar was granted the privilege of “borrowing” Alonso by Renault, which employs him as its official test driver. The purpose of the test, officials have explained, is to compare Alonso against Jaguar’s young test drivers, Australian James Courtney and German Andre Lotterer.

‘Our objective here is to conduct a true assessment of James and Andre by comparing them to what I regard as one of the best new talents in Formula One,’ said Team Principal Niki Lauda.

‘I am very interested to see how my two young drivers compare to Fernando who, for the first time will drive a Jaguar Formula One car.’

Renault Team MD Flavio Briatore had no hesitation in allowing Alonso to run for the Milton-Keynes stable.

‘When Niki asked for Fernando's services for this one-off test, I was happy to help,’ said the Italian.

‘Fernando's proven skills will no doubt help Niki set a benchmark for his two drivers. It will also provide Fernando an opportunity to widen his experience. This somewhat unusual test will create a lot of interest, which is no bad thing for young drivers in Formula One.’

The problem of secret sharing between F1 teams is not a concern in the deal, given how far further advanced in development Renault is than Jaguar.

Alonso will test on Thursday, the final day of the campaign.

That's a bit rough Ray !
Fortunately I don't think he can read English. The translation must be via some experimental Spanish-Klingon-Mandarin-English program. Weird.

I reckon that is Pedro de la Rosa at Monaco in that Jag pic. Bit hard to tell since the resolution is so small.

C'mon Phil, don't you think somebody religiously devout to Alonso could recognise his favorite driver from above......

....you know, recognise him by the helmet design....

[camaroincal]

Whats wrong with someone cheering on their favorite F-1 driver? This forum needs more action anyway..lol

[RallyRaider]

Nothing at all, I just thought a fan would recognise their favourite driver. The above pic is entitled jaguar_test_alonso_silverstone2002-1.jpg. It clearly is not, rather de la Rosa at Monaco. In F1 you can never take anything at face value, so much published about it is at best lazy "jounalism" and at worst pure lies!

So, you are not interested in F1?

I don't understand what's the problem.

[freakray]

No, we're not interested in a whole thread about one driver.

[Ellouder]

OK but...

...how do you know what other users are interested in?
