Jani goes back to Arden

Nicolas Lapierre is out of action with two compressed vertebrae after a spectacular crash at the start of the Monaco GP2 race. The Arden driver was the victim of someone else's accident and will not be able to race again before the French Grand Prix.

Arden boss Christian Horner has decided that the best man to stand in for Lapierre is Scuderia Toro Rosso test driver Neel Jani. Jani drove for Racing Engineering last year in GP2 and won two races for the Spanish team.
