India's new force!

With Fisichella moving to Ferrari, new driver Italian Vitantonio Liuzzi now has to do justice to his big seat in Monza this weekend. Here's how you can know him better...


*Vitantonio Liuzzi, also known Tonio, has been Force India's test and reserve driver since the start of the 2008 season. His last test in the VJM02 was on Thursday, September 3 at Kemble airfield when he conducted an aero test with the Monza downforce configuration.




*Tonio made his F1 debut in 2005 at the San Marino Grand Prix with the Red Bull Racing team. He scored a point on his debut and after competing in only three more races that year, made a permanent switch to Toro Rosso in 2006. He remained there for the whole 2007 season.

*Tonio holds the joint record for the most F3000 wins in one season; seven out of a possible ten in 2004, his championship-winning year. The Italian holds the record with Juan Pablo Montoya and Nick Heidfeld.

*Tonio has also held the FIA-CIK World Karting Championship title, which he won in 2001.

*A full Tonio Liuzzi CV, race results and statistics can be found on https://media.forceindiaf1.com.
