Stewart to Coach Pizzonia

Sir Jackie Stewart will be coaching Jaguar driver Antonio Pizzonia on how to improve his driving, The Sun revealed today.

Three times World Champion Stewart, a member of the Jaguar board, said he will help Pizzonia maximize his driving potential, after the young Brazilian has struggled to make an impression so far this season.

"Antonio has a bucketful of talent but it is just a question of getting him to exercise it," Stewart told The Sun. "Natural skills and driving by the seat of your pants is fine - but you have to channel it productively.

"The trouble is Antonio has been trying too hard since making his debut and when that happens you go slower. He has tended to over-drive in order to impress.

"I have won on most circuits used these days and feel I can help Antonio with his driving, whether it is on the mental side or the lines he needs to take on the circuit. I'm confident that with a little guidance he will start doing really well."

Pizzonia welcomed the help, stating: "Jackie has so much experience and he has already given me a lot of tips which I have tried and have worked. He is trying to help and I am enjoying learning from him.

"I have been a winner in almost every category I have raced in from karting to F3 - and I intend to make my mark in Formula One."
