As expected, Jaguar Racing has confirmed Christian Klien as race driver
for2004 after the 20 year-old Austrian tested for the team last
week.Klien, who was runner up in German F3, impressed Jaguar with
hisperformance at the test, not to mention his considerable financial
backingfrom Red Bull. Klien replaces Justin Wilson as teammate to Mark
Webber.
"Knowing that I am a Jaguar F1 driverhas made me the happiest man on
earth!" said Klien in a statement releasedon December 2nd. "I have worked
tirelessly overthe years to get to this point but I appreciate also that
the real hardwork for me starts now. I am indebted to Jaguar Racing for
giving mean opportunity to prove my worth and I intend repaying Jaguar
throughhard work, commitment and ultimately, results on the race track."
"Before that, however, I have a responsibility alongside Mark Webber
tosupportthe development of the 2004 challenger and that means countless
hoursof testing over the winter period. This will also be a very
valuablefamiliarisation exercise for me too as I get to know the car, the
teamand it's associated partners."
David Pitchforth, Managing Director of Jaguar Racing said of the
Valenciatest: "Christian was in as much control of himself as he was the
car."He was extremely calm, composed and didn't seem remotely fazed by
his firstever experience with a Formula One car. His technical feedback
wasexcellent and there is no doubt in our minds about the potential of
thisexciting new young talent."
"He worked very well with the race engineersand demonstrated increasing
speed as he became familiar with the car.Christian's professionalism and
brain bandwidth are also very impressiveand combined with his
application, our decision to employ him as a racedriver was based on
merit, potential and speed."
Klien's position in the team is effective immediately and he will
starttesting at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain today, along with
Webber.

Certo, ragazzi, non me lo sarei mai aspettato dalla Jaguar...
Un team che entra in F1 per rispondere a BMW e Merdeces e invece si ritrova
non solo a beccarle di santa ragione dalle suddette, ma anche a doversela
vedere con i cosiddetti team "minori".
