Diniz raced karts for just two years before moving up to Formula Ford in 1989. '90-92 were spent in F3, first in South America and then Europe. He joined the Forti team in 1993 in F3000 where he spent two years before moving up to F1 with Forti in 95. As a paying driver, backed by his father's fortune, he has remained in F1 but it must be said that he is one of the better ride-buyers. He actually scored two points from a pair of 6th place finishes in 1996. It is believed he will bring about $8 million to Arrows where he will be a distinct and distant #2 to Damon Hill.
