People are telling me he's linked to Audi so he might end up taking either Bottas or Zhou's Sauber seat (unsure who they'd let go tbh)

What about pourchaire. I thought Zhou was only keeping the seat warm until Theo stepped up which he has done by winning the F2 title.

[–] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I like Theo and I think he would be a great addition to the grid but his f2 stint was not dominant. He's doing the Gasly super formula route this year I think, with Iwasa.

Maybe they'll do a full driver swap and drop both Zhou and Bottas for Sainz and Pourchaire??

Well considering Mick got a shot at f1, pourchaire should as well. He was top 2 in both years of f2. Not everybody can be a leclerc, Russell or piastri and absolutely annihilate the competition. I think Theo is more than good enough for the grid

And Drugovich!

Mixed feelings about drugo. He had a middling f2 stint before suddenly blitzing the field. Still don't know how good he is

[–] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

He is not that good IMO! Seems like a lovely guy but in his winning f2 season he had the lucky engine and no real competition, sorry to say
