Giancarlo Fisichella appeared to be one of Formula Ones rising new stars, but the 99 season did not turn out the way the young Italian had hoped. Finishing the season in ninth with only thirteen points, he is hoping for a turn around in 2000. He remains at Benetton for the third year in a row, alongside Alexander Wurz.

Giancarlo Fisichella (born January 14, 1973 in Rome)... known as Fisico or Fisi, is an Italian Formula One racing driver. He currently drives for the reigning world constructors' champion Renault team and has also driven for Sauber, Jordan, Benetton and Minardi. For most of his career he has consistently outpaced his team-mates, and was eventually declared the winner for Jordan of the chaotic 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix a week after the event. Until 2005 he had never been in a team with genuinely competitive equipment. Since joining the Renault team he has been overshadowed by world champion Fernando Alonso but has taken two further victories with Renault. Having recently signed a further one year contract with Renault, he will hope to step out of Alonso's shadow as Alonso leaves for McLaren next season.

********************Giancarlo Fisichella************************** Like many before him, Giancarlo Fisichella's introduction to motorsport came through karting. He was eleven years old when he first took to the track. Fisichella recorded twelve wins in the 1984 Italian 60cc Minikart Championship in his very first season of competition. Remaining with the 100cc category in 1988, Fisichella was the Italian Team Champion and moved up to international competition for the first time. He recorded twenty one wins that season, and recorded pole position at the 100cc karting World Championships. 1989 brought further international success; Fisichella won the prestigious Hong Kong Grand Prix, was 2nd in the European Championship and came home in 4th place at the World Championships.
