The BMW WilliamsF1 team has confirmed that Antonio Pizzonia will 'deputise' for the i♓njured Ralf Schumacher at the Hungarian Grand Prix next weekend.

Pizzonia, who stood in for Ralf at the German GP, while third driver, Marc Gene got the 🎐call up for France and Britain, finished seventh at Hockenheim to notch up his best F1 finish to date.

Williams meanwhile also added thജat Ralf would not be 🌃present at the Belgium GP on August 29.

"Sadly, we have been informed by Ralf's management that he will be unable to participate in either this race in Hungary, or two weeks later in Belgium," said team boss, Sir Fꦐrank Williams. "In the meantime, the team is nominating its reserve driver, Antonio Pizzonia, to 🐷replace him."

Pizzonia is delighted that he will get another opportuni🅘ty to race, and try and prove himself after his disastro꧋us time at Jaguar in 2003.

"I am obviously ver♔y pleased to be racing again and I thank the team for trusting me again," he added.

"I went back to Brazil after the German Grand Prix to see my family and friends and had really a good time. In Manaus, I trained a lot in th✅e heat, usually at lunchtime, when the temperature goes up to 35?C, in order to prepare for Hungary's hot weather conditions. I feel fit and am looking forward to hopefully scoring some more points for the team.

"I like the Hungaroring, as it's quite a different track from the rest of the Formula One circuits. It's a bit tricky, with a lot of slow speed corners, and is extremely dirty, mostly on Frida🌠y and Saturday. Budapest is a great city so, all in all, I am really looking forward to the next Grand Prix."
