View Full Version : Justin Wilson Moves to Jaguar Chris L 21 July 2003, 14:32 Just been confirmed that Justin Wilson will move to Jaguar until the end of the season. He will replace Pizzonia who will act as reserve driver. Nicolas Kiesa joins Minardi to replace JW. Nice one JW - good move I think. It will be good to see him in something approaching a competative car :) Chris johnfelstead 21 July 2003, 15:46 well done justin, he has driven very well this year and deserves a break like that. With Mark webber being another tall guy he shouldnt have issues with fitting in the car. ianmiller999 21 July 2003, 18:37 Will Justin be able to match the pace or Mark Webber, I think he will be close behind him but maybe not quicker?..? ianmiller999 21 July 2003, 18:39 Seems he is starting now!!! Justin Wilson is delighted that he will drive for Jaguar for the rest of the 2003 season. davyboy 21 July 2003, 19:02 I wonder if he will still work at Bedford ;) That is a fantastic success story. WagonRich 21 July 2003, 20:08 Yup, word is that this takes effect immediatly and at the next race JW will be in the Jag. Rich Father Jack Hackett 21 July 2003, 21:20 This is really great. Go JW! Scoobychick 22 July 2003, 09:14 I'm really chuffed for him, he seems like a really nice bloke too :) Wish I'd bought shares in him now... :D Spoon 22 July 2003, 20:53 Chris L say's Just been confirmed that Justin Wilson will move to Jaguar until the end of the season. Ian Miller say's Seems he is starting now!!! I thought that's what "until end of season means" :rolleyes: Good news. 289 23 July 2003, 15:38 Not getting paid, but a bonus of £25k per point scored. As he MIGHT score, ooh, 7 or 8 points until the end of the season, that's not a massive payday, and certainly won't do much for his investors. A decent contract next year, different story. Even then, will take time to repay those who stuck cash into him. scooby_jim 24 July 2003, 19:56 Better than his current salary as a motorsport driving instructer!! £50,000!! http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/sprachlos/speechless-smiley-015.gif Jim :D [Edited by scooby_jim - 7/24/2003 7:57:57 PM] ianmiller999 28 July 2003, 11:09 Chris L say's quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just been confirmed that Justin Wilson will move to Jaguar until the end of the season. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ian Miller say's quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems he is starting now!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I thought that's what "until end of season means" Good news. Opps I read it wrong, I though it said he is moving at the end of season. Crapaud62 31 July 2003, 07:17 But lets hope that he keeps the drive for next year. Judging by the way Jag change people in the team, and the comments from the boss of Jag, there is no guarantee that he will be driving for them in 2004. Jag have publicly stated that he has 3 races to prove himself. What a way to run a team! Andy Mid. 31 July 2003, 10:40 so what are you saying ? That they should sign him up for next year before he'd even driven the Jag ? What's the hurry ? Better to make an informed decision based on his JRL race performances than to sign him long term before he's proved himself (e.g. another Pizzonia) Ferg 02 August 2003, 05:57 He's off to a fine start with a P7 in Germany. Sure it's provisional, but he's only off Webber's time by a few tenths. Keep it up Justin! ianmiller999 02 August 2003, 07:56 Could the jags beet the ferraris in the race. I do hope so. |
