Safety Team
Just to clear things up in regard to the Champ Car Safety Team. There has been NO communication to CCWS Safety with respect to joining the IRL Safety Team. It appears as thought the original Safety Team will cease to exist when this "merger" goes down, and the team which has been known as the gold standard in motor sports safety for the last 20+ years will be left out in the cold. This is a sad day in the world of motor sports.

It is a shame, hopefully some of them will find there way into the IRL safety team.

The term "merger" might be misleading...
Unless the IRL's safety team were seriously understaffed, which I don't believe to be the case, there'll be little room (or even need) to incorporate the CCWS crews. The writing's unmistakenly on the wall, so what kind of communication do you expect? They'll be let go after Long Beach like all the other CCWS employees.
Lindholm postponed for ERC later in the year. Not sure about Verstappen, maybe didnt fancy the extreme heat at his age ?
