FISICHELLA ARRIVES IN THE PARTYPOKER.IT PADDOCK – MOTOR RACING LEGEND HAS SIGNED FOR TWO NEW TEAMS!

Gibraltar – 6^th October 2009 — http://www.partypoker.it/ is delighted to announce the arrival of a new star to their paddock. Motor racing legend Giancarlo Fisichella has joined two new teams recently – one of them being PartyPoker.it!

Giancarlo Fisichella is a fierce competitor on and off the track and he made a big impression on his new sponsors with a dazzling and high-octane performance at the Sports Stars Challenge IV event in London earlier this year. As a newly signed ambassador for PartyPoker.it, Giancarlo’s passion for the game will see him take on the best of the poker circuit as well as the racing circuit!

Giancarlo said: “Poker has become a very popular pastime in the paddock in recent months with many of the drivers.  I have joined two new teams recently and am delighted to be in pole position as a new ambassador for PartyPoker.it!”

PartyPoker.it is celebrating Giancarlo Fisichella becoming an ambassador with a series of great daily freerolls. Players can win a slice of the €500 prize pool and, better still, a genuine F1 collector’s item: a unique shirt signed by Fisi himself. Click on the ‘Freerolls’ tab in the Tournament Lobby, click ‘Fisichella €500 Freeroll’ and then click on the ‘Register’ button. Seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please note that this promotion is open to residents of Italy only. The freerolls run until the 31^st October.

For more information see: http://www.partypoker.it/news/items/fisichella_freeroll.html

A PartyPoker spokesman said: “Giancarlo is the fantastic new ambassador for PartyPoker.it. The freerolls are exclusive to Italian residents but the rest of the world and the international poker circuit is likely to feel the force of Fisi as he gets involved in the game. Many commentators have already said that they believe that he is on track to be one the best ‘celebrity’ players on the poker circuit. He is one to watch as he moves through his gears but you have to pay attention as he moves very fast on the felt and he’s always got his hand on the pump!”

Fisi has already recorded a special instructional dvd that will be available shortly in the Italian market.

About Giancarlo Fisichella

Giancarlo, also known as Fisico or Fisi, was born January 14, 1973 in Rome, Italy. He recently moved back to Rome with his partner Luna and two children, Carlotta and Christopher. A committed family man he lists his most important thing in life as being his health and to have a happy family.

A veteran of over 200 grand prix starts, with three victories and four Pole Positions to his credit, Giancarlo Fisichella has enjoyed a long career at the top of his profession. He has driven in Formula One for Minardi, Jordan, Benetton, Sauber, Renault, Force India and recently (September 2009) realized his dream of being signed as a Ferrari driver.

Giancarlo, from Rome, Italy, started his motorsport career in karting in 1984. After years of dominating various series, he made his Italian Formula Three debut in 1992. Finishing 2^nd in just his second season, Giancarlo went on to take the Championship a year later. After a two year assault on the international Touring Car Championship Giancarlo made his Formula One debut in 1996 with Minardi.

1997 marked the young Italian’s first full Formula One season with Jordan and after an exceptional year, he moved to Benetton, where he stayed for three seasons. A return to Jordan in 2002 saw Giancarlo record his first F1 victory in Brazil, 2003, but for the 2004 season he joined Sauber Petronas where he completed in his 9^th season for F1.

His return to Renault in 2005 got off to a dream start when he claimed pole position and the race win in Australia. In 2008 Giancarlo moved to Force India where he put in a number of strong drives, notably at Monaco and Silverstone in 2009. However, it was at Spa Francorchamps that he surprised everyone with a stunning pole position and then arguably his finest race to second position, just one second behind race winner Kimi Raikkonen.

In September 2009 Giancarlo realized his dream of being signed as a Ferrari driver.  He will be racing for the team until the end of the season, and in addition has secured a testing and reserve contract for the 2010 season.
