Roger’s pit stop: Drivers and teams stay together

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Will there be no transfer for next season for the first time since the start of the World Cup in 1950? The example of Alpha Tauri-Honda is an exception. They started with Tsunoda and De Vries. The Dutchman was so weak that he was replaced by Ricciardo. The Australian was injured in Zandvoort (broken metacarpal) – and so Bulls junior Lawson came into the game. The New Zealander was a cracker in the first three races in the weakest car.

But now the new team management under Peter Bayer in Japan confirmed: “Tsunoda and Ricciardo will drive.” Lawson is pushed back to the bench. Now only the second Williams cockpit is open. If Sargeant is released, Drugovich, Formula 2 champion 22, would be the clear favourite. Before Schumi junior.

Formula 1 is also having a hard time with the teams. The FIA ​​investigated four investigations. Hitech GP from England was rejected. 90 people had already been hired for the project. The Lucky Sun adventure of a Hong Kong billionaire was also rejected. He wanted to put in a billion and even voluntarily increase the entry fee from $200 million to $600 million.

The Andretti clan does not have an easy game

This amount (which will then be distributed among the ten teams) should be included in the new Concorde Agreement from 2025. And thus deter everyone from participating in the GP circus. The Andretti clan is also not welcome. But he should soon receive approval from the FIA ​​​​for the eleventh GP team. Because he has General Motors as a partner.

However, the Americans are not allowed to celebrate yet. The ten current teams are now united behind the Formula 1 management, which rejects Andretti and, if necessary, even wants to compete with the world association FIA. Michael Andretti, son of former world champion Mario (1978 with Lotus), once tried to buy the Sauber team in Hinwil. He failed miserably.
