Jungle Boy 'ready' to sub

Williams' Antonio Pizzonia will attend the San Marino grand prix. It's significant because the Brazilian test driver and official 'reserve' didn't travel - for example - to Malaysia.

Nick Heidfeld (back) and Mark Webber (rib), remember, both pulled out of recent tests for the BMW-powered team with minor injuries.

Pizzonia, 24, is "ready to race," he told Speed TV, "in case one of the drivers is not in best physical condition."
