  Giancarlo Fisichella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giancarlo Fisichella (born January 14, 1973 in Rome), also known as Fisico or Fisi, is an Italian Formula One racing driver.
Fisichella, tipped early on to be a successor to greats like Prost, Senna, and Stewart, made his full F1 assault in 1997 with Jordan, scoring his first podium at the Canada.
At Imola and Nürburgring Giancarlo has missed the top 10 in qualifying - in the latter he blamed Jacques Villeneuve for blocking him during one of his qualifying laps, but this was in fact his third attempt at a fast lap, and neither of the other attempts were up to par.

As Fisichella found his stride, he began to outpace team-mate Ralf Schumacher, and in the German GP he narrowly missed out on pole, and was on course for victory when a damaged tyre caused him to crash with just seven laps of the race remaining.
Fisichella moved to Benetton for 1998 after Briatore went to court in order to take up his option on the Italian, and Giancarlo claimed his only ever pole at the Austrian GP that season.
However Giancarlo continued to give it his all, despite the fact that an over-enthusiastic team-mate almost took him out of the Malaysian GP while a heavy crash during practice for the French GP left him sidelined for the rest of the weekend.

The decision to award Fisichella the race was the latest twist in a season that has seen Formula One turned on its head by a series of new rules that have, for the moment at least, loosened Ferrari's grip on the sport.
Fisichella's win also was a badly needed boost for the Jordan team, which has struggled to keep up in the high-cost, highly competitive world of F1.

A statement added Fisichella's "excellent working relationship with the team, allied to undoubted speed, will form the backbone of the Renault F1 Team's 2007 challenge".
Fisichella's somewhat patchy form this season so far had led many to believe he would not remain at the team after the end of this year, but with Fernando Alonso leaving for rivals McLaren, it seems continuity has entered the equation.
The identity of Fisichella's team mate for next season remains unknown although he did comment, on a widely publicised story yesterday, that it would be 'a Finn'.
