Minardi sources say that Prost test driver Stephane Sarazin will replace injured Luca Badoer this weekend in Brazil. Badoer broke his hand during tests last week and although he is recovering quickly choose not to drive and let his hand recover before his home Grand Prix in San Marino.

Sarazin stated: "I know it's not going to be easy. People say it is the most difficult circuit on the calendar."
