Antonio Pizzonia has been dropped by Fisichella Motor Sport as had been widely predicted.
The team will run Adam Carroll at Magny-Cours this weekend and throughout the remainder of the season if he continues to perform. The team had tested Ernesto Viso with a view to drafting in the Venezuelan.

DTM Brands Hatch: Champion’s drive by Schneider

Bernd Schneider gave a typically virtuoso performance to win at Brands Hatch under intense pressure from the Audis of Martin Tomcyk and Mattias Ekstrom.

Oschersleben produced a massively different result to that seen at Hockenheim and leaves the title race [...]
