Goodbye Gianmaria Bruni

Gianmaria Bruni failed to make much of an impression in F1 last year, being overshadowed somewhat in the course of the year by Zsolt Baumgartner at Minardi. There was talk that the Italian would be back in F1 again in 2005 but he has now decided to sign for the Coloni team to contest GP2. Bruni does have talent but does not appear to have been ready for F1 and so has decided to cut his losses and try to rebuild his career. He is still only 23 and so has time on his side, although he will need to do well if he is to wipe away the poor year with Minardi.
