nudge Posted December 5, 2019 Author Posted December 5, 2019 Mick tops the morning session of the post-season testing. Deletraz with the best time in the afternoon session. Strong rumours about Carlin becoming Red Bull Junior Team as well as Hitech joining the grid next season.
nudge Posted December 6, 2019 Author Posted December 6, 2019 Today's testing results: Morning session: Afternoon session: Mick with only a few laps in the morning session and had to sit out the afternoon session completely due to a technical issue with his car.
nudge Posted December 12, 2019 Author Posted December 12, 2019 Happy for Zhou and it's indeed a nice gesture to name the award in honour of Hubert.
nudge Posted December 18, 2019 Author Posted December 18, 2019 New driver announcements. F2: Deletraz and Piquet confirmed as Charouz drivers. F3: Sargeant joins Prema.

nudge Posted December 21, 2019 Author Posted December 21, 2019 Coming to F1TV on January 2 F2's own Drive to Survive...
nudge Posted December 30, 2019 Author Posted December 30, 2019 Théo Pourchaire has joined ART for the 2020 FIA F3 championship.
nudge Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 HWA have announced Enzo Fittipaldi & Jack Doohan today (with Jack Hughes already confirmed earlier). A bit surprised they didn't give Sophia Flörsch a seat... wonder if this is the dead end of her single seaters career?
nudge Posted January 10, 2020 Author Posted January 10, 2020 Today seems to be driver announcement Friday Yuki Tsunoda to Carlin in F2. Jüri Vips to Team Mugen in Super Formula. Tatiana Calderon to Drago Course in Super Formula. Super Formula is set to be very European this year...

There's this UAE female racer who drove for Prema in F4 and has been doing quite well lately. I think she might get the spot in their Ferrari academy instead.

I'm still hopeful that this 12 year old Japanese girl turns out to be the real deal. As for Sophia, we'll see. She's surely a capable driver, but I hope they don't just "use" her for marketing reasons. Her instagram has become very generic by posting pictures every day at the exact same time.

You're thinking about Saudi Arabia, but even they allow women to drive now. This UAE girl actually was the first female racer to race in Saudi Arabia after the ban was removed in 2018. At the moment I'd say Jamie Chadwick is the best/most promising female racing driver. She's already Williams' development driver as well.

Because with Williams, that's how they pick anyone these days. But I from what I've seen from her so far, I think she's there on a merit.

She has a few sponsors as much as I'm aware but nothing huge and has been struggling with budget in the past (i.e. nowhere near to buying a seat anywhere). As for Williams, I think it's a combination of both her being a decent driver AND her being a female at the same time. Good PR and a good way to attract sponsors. So it's kind of on merit but also not really if that makes sense
