| Prospects |
|
Likely to move up in the pecking order after a respectable debut, but the second season often proves tougher than the first.
On the plus side, the Toyota engine is likely to have bags of power, and Panis has plenty of experience.
CART champion Da Matta may take time to feel at home. |
