as the title says, BAR has recruited former Arrows driver Bernoldi for testing duties. since the team folded after 2002, he's been driving in the Superfund World Series and currently placed second with a new team.

hmm.. forward thinking for Button replacement..?

 

well, as the article states, mid season testing ban has been lifted, so theyll obviously be doing a lot of testing. last year they had both sato and davidson as test drivers, along with jenson and JV. it seems like a good move to keep options open, should davidson not stick around since im sure he's being courted by numerous teams, or whatever could happen after this season is over.

it seems that BAR still doesnt have the budget to get a BIG NAME driver around, and it seems thats the david richards MO, use highly talented young drivers he can (almost) get away with paying cheap. but thats all speculation, isnt everything tho?
