Jag drivers expect tough season

Jaguar has the most inexperienced driver line-up on the grid this season in Mark Webber and rookie Antonio Pizzonia, and the Brazilian knows that he'll be on a steep learning curve as the team hopes to erase the memory of its so far disappointing three years in Formula 1.

"I'm expecting a difficult season, there's a lot of work to be done here and it's always difficult when you are a newcomer as well," Pizzonia said. "I have a lot to learn, but it should be quite interesting as well. I'm looking forward to it."

Webber has at least done a year in F1 before - impressing at Minardi during 2002 - and the Australian is expecting to lead the famous marque's revival.

"I'm really confident," he states. "It's something that I've been looking forward to for a long time. It's the first time I've really had a team preparing everything for me as a driver.

"I'm excited by the new R4. It's going to be a tough year for us but I'm very confident that we can go forward after what happened last year."

Webber starts the season at his home grand prix in Melbourne the scene of his historic fifth place last year.
