| The highly gifted Italian should be one of those in close contention for the 1998 title. Last season, with Jordan-Peugeot, he distinguished himself on more than one occasion, coming very close to victory in the German Grand Prix. With Benetton this year, he plans to chalk up some Formula 1 wins. Since the arrival of David Richards, the team once again look potential winners. We'll know soon enough! |
