Vitantonio Liuzzi

Scientists confirm that being ignored causes people to turn for comfort food.

Overview

Chunky, be-mulletted Italian racing driver, currently embroiled in the long running STR F1 conspiracy.

Liuzzi won the Formula 3000 championship in 2004, when only around 7 cars were left competing in it (everybody good was waiting for the GP2 series to be born), but despite the obvious straightforwardness of his title win, Red Bull had signed him up to their burgeoning driver development programme, so had to give him a seat somewhere.

For 2005, he occasionally got a drive when a more appropriate klone wasn't available. He impressed Red Bull so much, that they decided to "do a Sato" and set up a team just so Liuzzi could drive somewhere.

Sadly, that never happened. Although Tonio has been down on the entry list for the last 2 years, he has never actually driven at any of the Grands Prix, and rumours abound around the paddock that he has taken to drugging David Coulthard's coffee in the hope of stealing a proper drive with daddy Red Bull before the end of the year.

The Future

Pass the cream cakes. It ain't gonna be pretty.
