It's what he did at Jordan and Sauber in the past, before a move to Renault and the resulting hammering he received from Fernando Alonso basically ended his chances at being given a shot at a top team anytime soon.

But Fisichella is good, and motivated to prove people wrong, so I expect him do perform well, relatively speaking.

That is bad news for his teammate, Adrian Sutil, who finds himself at the opposite end of the grid, in the same situation as Robert Kubica.

Sutil is a highly regarded young driver, and Fisichella is an experienced driver who has the reputation as not being good enough for a top team.

So, if Sutil doesn't beat Fisichella this year, and that's very possible given both how good Fisichella is and the fact that Sutil, while having excellent raw pace, is still very erratic and makes the kind of mistakes you won't see from his teammate, it would be a huge setback in his career and possibly even end his chances at a move to a team higher up the grid.
