It would seem that all is not quite as expected in the BMW WilliamsF1 Team camp this morning in Monza. Following on from his crash during testing last week at the 5.7km Autodromo, Ralf Schumacher is still not feeling 100 per cent.

Subsequently the FIA have issued the following statement: “Having received a request from the BMW WilliamsF1 Team to substitute driver Marc Gené for driver of car number four (Ralf Schumacher) under Article 60 of the 2003FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations, the Stewards of the meeting accede to the request and permit the substitution of Marc Gené for Ralf Schumacher.”

Maybe it’s something in the name that’s contagious for Formula One drivers as Jordan’s Ralph is also out of the running for the Italian round of the Championship this weekend.
