My uncle Lazio wants to enter a team!

[Robinho]

Can I ask what will happen should van de garde replace either of the rostered sauber drivers, either for this race or part/whole season, or if they rotate the 3? It's not a simple reserve driver situation as it not the driver missing a race due to illness, injury or suspension . I would hope that anyone with Ericsson or Nasr would receive Van De Garde's points in any races he replaces the other 2 as it is an unknown at this point who the Sauber contracted drivers are/will be

Press release:
In an unprecedented move Mercedes decided to switch it dominant power unit to one delivered by Ferrari. In even more shocking news, they decided to fire reigning champion Lewis Hamilton and replace him with Pastor Maldonado. “We’ve already proven that our car is the fastest” says team boss. “Now we want to prove it’s also the safest one and I’m sure that signing Pastor is the right decision.” The team’s second driver will be, no surprise here considering his nationality, Nico Hülkenberg. “Nico has a particularly strong record of not finishing on podium” team boss continues. “We hope he will display similar strong form with us and keep his record untarnished. We’ve already got lots of stuff labeled ‘Nico’ from the past years so I’m sure he will fit well within the team.”
He also gave us some reflections on the past season. “Fans complained about our domination. With current lineup we’ll try our best to stay away from any potential podium. We put our trust in Maldonado, that with his outstanding racecraft he will produce some amazing pile-ups to spice up the usually dull and boring races, that will be remembered for years.”
After being released by Scuderia Toro Rosso Jean-Éric Vergne found his new home as Mercedes’ reserve drive. “We don’t know how he got here” says engine department director. “He jumped out of one of the boxes with the engines. We were really surprised. It turns out Ferrari runs some kind of loyalty program and gives away free drivers with every engine. One of our mechanics mistook him for some lose part and attached him to the exhaust. It radically improved the sound but it didn’t pass the scrutineering, FIA considering him a movable aero device.”
During the presentation the team announced their new sponsor. Marketing director spoke to us about the new deal. “They don’t know they are sponsoring us. I hope they won’t notice until the end of season.”
With the beginning of new season lurking from the next corner, team boss gives his final message to the fans. “We can’t wait to hear the gentle whistles produced by our new turbo engine, so do our casual fans. Please give us thumbs up on assbook.com. It means more for us than any championship.”

FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM STATEMENT

We announce tonight that we are ready to make the announcement we announced previously, and announce an entry for FGP 2015 as follows:

FORD FOCUS F1 TEAM

Driver 1: Kimi Raikkonen = 10M
Driver 2: Manor 2/Roberto Merhi* = 4M
Chassis: Mercedes = 20M
Engine: Williams - Mercedes = 13M
Reserve Driver: Kevin Magnussen = 1M

=48M

Bonus GP: Spain


How does it work if Merhi does only 1 race? If you choose "Manor 2", does that include all drivers who fill that seat?

We need to check to see if no-one else has this combination. And yep! Truefan has the same team! It's SO unfair - WE wanted Australia as our bonus! Now we have to choose Spain instead (we hope to grab our first podium here, or even better...)



Our simulations show that Jens' and others' brave Merc-Merc-Rubbish drivers line-up should win the title. We REALLY want to go for that, but want to risk something slightly different to try and capitalise on a great invidual result somewhere. We really don't think Kimi will finish higher than 6th-8th in the WDC despite Ferrari's testing form, but we will still hire him as the bargain driver of 2015, having learned from our mistake of rejecting Ricciardo last season.

It should be a very close title fight indeed due to the narrow sensible choices available this year.



You may have noticed we have finally had enough of McLaren and dropped them from our line-up entirely. So obviously they will now come good at the Spanish GP and be clear 2nd best team from then on,

Giving Someone who chose Ericsson or Nasr the points van der Garde might score is unfair to everyone else.
If Sauber rotate all three then a FGP team will have to choose one.

I will say this:
Any team that choose a Sauber driver will get the chance to change ONLY to a different Sauber driver if they so choose. van der Garde will cost the same as Ericsson.

When I took over there were 80 entrants. It has gone steadily downhill since.

When can we make that change? I've got Ericsson, if Sauber turn up with Nasr and Van De Garde I'd want to change, but they could change again between FP1 and race day
