Rossi to replace Merhi
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/120837
Well, I'm gutted. A few days ago, Merhi actually left his Formula Renault team in order to fully concentrate on his F1 career and now he's just out of a race seat. That's some terrible timing.

I think its great news. Can't wait to see him race. As long as he doesn't have that cocky attitude that did in Speed, i'll be ok. Haven't seen him race much, but he seems to be doing alright in GP2.
He actually gets to race 5 out of the last 7 races, so let's do this!
Too bad Haas has no interest. I don't quite get that.Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent

Good news for Rossi, who deserved to be in the US GP last year. Now he has his chance, finally.

Interesting. I think Merhi has done a decent job, its a shame that he is getting dropped. Good luck to Rossi though.
I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Curiously the first F1 driver that drove a #53 VW Beetle in motor racing was none other that Wolfgang von Trips.

Good drive by Rossi. Stayed out of the way of the front runners, maintained good pace and brought the car home, ahead of his teammate no less.
Defend mediocrity... because excelence is just too hard to achieve. :p

I thought he did well his first race. Hopefully one day Manor can be competitive.
