Giancarlo Fisichella has beaten five-time world champion Michael Schumacher in a poll of his fellow Formula One drivers. The Italian won the "Drivers' Driver" award at the F1 Awards in Birmingham but there was also an award for Schumacher as the German was named best driver for the third year in a row. However, he was not on hand to collect his award - the so-called "Bernie" trophy, which is a golden statuette of F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone - was collected on his behalf by former rival Damon Hill.
Afterwards, Fisichella revealed his main aim for the new season is score his first win. "The car looks good and the target for me is to win my first race in Formula One and be really competitive," said the Jordan racer. "If the Jordan is very competitive this year then I have one more year with Jordan. But obviously if I have the opportunity to drive for one of the best teams like Ferrari, McLaren or Williams then it would be a good chance."
