Castroneves naar Jaguar?

Indy Racing League frontrunner Helio Castroneves says he's been told Jaguar is interested in offering him a drive for next season.

The Brazilian was at Indianapolis for the grand prix at the weekend, where he was told about the potential deal.

"I didn't know anything about it until Roger (Penske) told me he was talking to them (Jaguar) for me and he wanted me to talk with a certain person from Jaguar but I wasn't able to find him," Castroneves told ESPN.

"I finally found Jackie Stewart and he said he would pass on the message to the right person. I want to know what's going on and I don't have any offer yet but if it's serious I'm going to go after this."

Castroneves had his first experience of an F1 car when he tested for Toyota at Paul Ricard two weeks ago. It was an experienced he enjoyed and he felt sure there was plenty more time to come from his driving.

"My timing was off a little in the beginning of my test but I picked it up pretty quick," he said. "I know I can turn right and left and if I'd have had one more day I know I could have picked up another second."

Ik zou het al bij al enorm leuk vinden als ie er kan rijden. Hij is op zijn best in street and road courses en een agressieve rijstijl! het kan de F1 alleen maar ten goede komen zeg ik...
