As one team at the bottom reported problems (reportedly Puma F1), another did too. Woods Racing were absolutely stunned after a double DNS left them out of pocket and with diminishing chances of setting 2005 up to be a better year.

Paul Fawcett, a driver Woods had looked for since 2003, pulled out of Italy and the rest of his loan with personal problems. While the team completely understand this, it left them out of pocket and with no driver. William Ponissi has stepped in, but the team don't know if they can hold 8th or better, and still only have Phil Perkins left as a verbal deal for 05. 3 drivers needed then.

France looks good, but Woods know they need a miracle.
