Antonio Pizzonia headed a big field of Formula One test drivers at Jerez on Thursday, solidifying speculation he'll race a Williams at Hockenheim.
The Brazilian test ace lapped faster than the likes of Jenson Button, world champion Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and team colleague Marc Gene.
A source believes Sir Frank Williams has given him a green-light to prepare for Germany. The 24-year-old was dumped by Jaguar mid last-season but a Williams team insider told the Independent that Spaniard Gene has had 'two good cracks' to impress.
He said the official reserve had driven 'averagely' in France and Britain.
"Now it's Antonio's turn."
The source said Pizzonia has got Ralf Schumacher's FW26 for one race only as it is hoped the injured German may be ready to return as F1 moves-on to Budapest.
Frank Williams has branded fellow principal Eddie Jordan 'foolish' in demanding too much compensation for the release of German driver Nick Heidfeld.

Hoewel zijn palmares bij Jaguar anders doet vermoeden ( nu ja, Wilson bakte er ook niks van ), ben ik er van overtuigd dat hij iets moois zal laten zien in Hockenheim.
