Viso's master card.

Wednesday, 3rd May 2006

After a trying season in 2005, things appear to slowly be coming good for Ernesto Viso, the diminutive Venezuelan determined to make it big in GP2.

That momentum carried over to the season finale in Bahrain where, having picked up a point in race one, he streaked away from pole on Sunday, with only champion Nico Rosberg able to keep up. The German eventually used the potential of his ART car to take the win, while Viso kept Alex Premat at bay to add another trophy to his collection.

Eleventh in the championship was not what Viso or BCN had imagined, however, and the driver took the decision to look elsewhere for 2006. Paul Jackson's iSport International team had been a frontrunner in the series' first season, taking Scott Speed to third overall despite the fact that the American failed to win a race and, happy to return to an English set-up, one with a few familiar faces on board, Viso was quick to sign up.

"The team is very quiet, but they do their job very well," he said, "They're just very focused on what GP2 is all about, and the only thing they want is to win - which is the same thing that I want, so our targets are the same. They want to win the title, like I do, so they're motivating me a lot, and I think I am doing the same for them as well. We're a very good couple and we're doing our best to get the title this season."

Testing results were not in the same league as those achieved with BCN the year before, but Viso insisted that he and iSport were going about things differently, seeking the reliability that had been missing from his 2005 campaign, while still trying to find the best set-up for his attacking style.

!I think I learned a lot from last year because, in my experience, you learn more from the bad seasons than from the good, and last season was one of the most difficult seasons for me," he explained, "I ended up looking at the season like a book. At every race, I turned the page and it was a new race for me, but it was tough because, with all the problems, I always had to try and forget them before the next race.
