Ricardo Zonta
Frentzen again crashed in the practice session for the Canadian Grand Prix. He subsequently complained of dizziness and headaches, and was replaced for the race by the team's test driver, Ricardo Zonta. Once again the EJ11 performed well in qualifying, but was unable to keep the same pace up in the race. Trulli however once again looked set for a strong finish and maybe a podium when his brake master cylinder failed. Zonta finished a disappointing 7th, outside the points positions.
