Fisichella pays to drive

Respond: “If I had 10 million bucks I'd stay home and watch F1 on TV!”


Fisichella was dropped by Renault at the end of last season and, although he tested for the Force India team in December, still has no confirmed drive for the coming season.

Now, following suggestions in the media that paying his way may be Fisichella’s only route into an ‘08 race seat, the Italian has responded in somewhat unusual fashion via his personal website.

“I do not pay to drive, I get paid to drive,” he said in a brief, three-point statement. “I do not bring sponsors to the team, the team brings sponsors to me,” he added, concluding with, “If I had 10 million bucks I'd stay home and watch F1 on TV!”
