Good point Steve W.

How about Mercedes GP giving a chance to one of their team who have been held in Tintop hell for the last few years ?

Why not Paul Di Resta ? F3 Euroseries Champion – the year after Lewis. It is worth reminding ourselves how dominant the UK was in that 3 year period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_Three_Euroseries

Go on James. Ask Mercedes GP why they are not going to give a chance to one of their loyal inhouse team ? Quick Nick has had his chance at BMW and to be honest has not been that exciting …

I agree that Adam Carroll deserves a chance. There are drivers making into F1 that have done far less than he has, he has won races in GP2 after all. Unfortunately money plays as much a part as talent, and there are several drivers missing out on deserved F1 opportunites as a result. There’s also the likes of Paul Di Resta, Gary Paffett, and Jamie Green, who should have been given an F1 chance by now but, despite being contracted to Mercedes, have not been given the opportunity.

I think that was a smoke screen – to accomodate for Kimi, Alonso, Massa. Schuey has always stated that he would never come back for a full season. Nothing to gain and all to lose.

Why is Adam Carrol not mentioned as possible F1 driver. Has done very well in the lower series (including winning A1GP last season) and deserves a shot at the big time.

Just heard on xfm that Raikkonen is not going to race in 2010 as his Mclaren deal has fallen through. This is a shame, if true. I prefer his no nonsense style.

They are out. Sauber still hasn’t been awarded the place yet, though

Thanks Crid! I guess being ‘good and consistent’ in F1 can be something of a curse. Everyone is always looking for the next Schumi or Senna. Glock will have to be very impressive if he has any hope of grabbing a drive for a top team in the future.

Have Toyota given up their place on the grid next year, or do they still hold it pending a sale of the team? I didn’t think Sauber were back in yet?

No rumours about USF1 drivers, are they going to make it?

Jaco- I really like your blog name! But how many years of “good and consistent” does a guy get before you think he was “just not that great”?
