Jordan is going to invite a Russian pilot

The owner of the Jordan team Eddie Jordan seriously considers the possibility of invitation in 2004 to Formula 1, 19-year-old Russian Vitaly Petrov. According to the Air Force , the Irish team is counting on financial feeding from Russia and considers a talented guy from Vyborg as a guide to a very attractive market.

At the moment when this message appeared, Vitaly spent his first race in Formula 3000, reports F1news . He started from his 12th position and immediately won two places. Almost immediately, the race was interrupted due to the accident, after which it was given a second start. Vitaliy won another position, and a dozen circles before the finish walked the seventh. By this time, the leaders began to catch up with him, the marshals waved it with blue flags, and then a misunderstanding happened: without understanding the instructions of the team, Vitaly missed the three riders, believing that he was a circular for them, while they actually occupied positions behind. The result is 10th place. The classification was received by 13 racers.

“This race helped me understand how much it remains to be done to become a strong racer,” Vitaly said after the finish. “It was very pleasant for me to get congratulations from Eddie Jordan, from Renault riders, Truly, Alonso and Maknish. Of course, about“ Formula -1 ”to think so far, but now I know that I will do everything depending on it.”
