Toyota sign Zonta as test driver

[Joe in LA]

I guess the Newman-Haas deal won't be happening. I'm more than a bit surprised that Toyota signed Zonta. Villeneuve crushed him at BAR, and based on how BAR's cars have "developed", there is no reason to think either of them are top notch development drivers. There are a number of proven drivers out there looking for work that I'd have wanted to sign first. Perhaps none of them wanted a testing role?

Methinks Toyota signed Zonta as insurance since da Matta has all the makings of a Zanardi debacle.
