If NASR to FINDIA, then maybe Manor full scale Merc- B team with same drivers : )

MAG stays Renault and Haas???
Renault is gonna end up with a rented Gasly or Palmer in the second car with proposals like that.

About Petrobras and Williams, Petrobras sponsored Williams during the BMW era but the deal ended there or shortly after.
When Massa was signed in 2014, Petrobras came back with.

With both Petrobras and Banco do Brasil Nasr might be close to the 35 mil Stroll is rumored to bring.
PER is prob praying for NAS now :mrgreen: New bargeboards every race guaranteed.
Well between the big Mexican money and Big Brazilian money they can fund Force India to be as strong as a work team.

If Eccleston wants so much a brazilian driver, he should find a way to get a seat for DiGrassi. For me he is the best brazilian driver in the past 2-3 years.

DiGrassi? For real?

Nasr over DiGrassi anytime.
There's always Bruno Senna, but he doesn't go all out. A shame, the potential is there but he just doesn't use it.
Got to appreciate his happiness though!

I think I'd go for Di Grassi over Nasr.

Di Grassi faired well in GP2 against Glock, Pantano, Filippi, K.Nakajima, Senna, Maldonado, Petrov, Chandhok, Pizzonia and Buemi.
Di Grassi ended up 2nd.

Nasr on the other hand finished 3rd with Palmer, Vandoorne, Cecotto Jr, Haryanto, Rossi. And that's about it.

Di Grassi maybe 32. But better than Nasr

Nasr has the backing, so will stay in F1 for another average season.

DiGrassi had a great GP2 participation (p2 in his second season and p3 in 08, even though he missed the first 6 races).

And what he's doing in FE is amazing. Although he was p3 and p2 in the championships so far, considering his bad luck and his team (didnt have the best car in season 2 and was disqualified by team errors more than once) he was, IMO, the best driver in both seasons.

And we also must consider his good job in WEC.

I'd choose DiGrassi over Nasr anytime.
