We’ve been offered well over thee-quarters of our racing budget by two drivers already, neither of whom have raced in Formula One – but both have won races in GP2. Both of them have massive sponsorship they can bring us from their home country

Just out of curiosity, anyone know who the two drivers were?

Peter Windsor mentioned this past sunday on 'Wind Tunnel' that JV said he would race for free.

An educated guess judging by what Windsor said there would lead me to the likes of Di Grassi and Petrov, or (arguably) more likely guys from huge countries who have won the odd race but aren't really that good - ie Chandhok, Kobayashi, etc.

I can't see Senna starting out as a pay driver, imo he'll just replace Barrichello whenever he retires.

Chandhok?

JV - Villeneuve? AFAIK he never raced in GP2...?!

What does GP2 have to do with my reply? I'm only stating what I heard.

Because that's the question I asked
Peter Windsor was talking about GP2 winners, not just anyone who's been linked with the team.
