About Antônio Pizzonia
Antônio Pizzonia, a Brazilian driver born in 1980, competed in Formula 1 between 2003 and 2005, making twenty starts for two teams. He debuted at 22 with Jaguar in 2003, a difficult first season that ended without points and a 21st-place classification.
A move to Williams followed for 2004, and with more competitive equipment his results improved markedly: six points and fifteenth in the championship. He remained with the Grove team in 2005, adding two further points, though his final standing that year was 22nd.
In all, Pizzonia's three-season career yielded eight points, all of them scored in Williams machinery. His record traces a familiar arc for drivers of the early 2000s — a tough apprenticeship in a struggling car, followed by flashes of respectability once better machinery arrived, without ever quite securing a long-term foothold on the grid.
