Giovinazzi would be a solid choice, and a step forward for the team, moving away from 100% pay drivers. He’d be a genuine benchmark for Mick also. Piastri would be a more exciting choice, but that’s returning to 2 inexperienced drivers.

Gio would indeed be a great choice!
Giovanazzi had flashes of speed in qualifying from time to time, and dissapeared during races.nokivasara wrote: ↑04 Mar 2022, 12:13Gio would indeed be a great choice!
That would be great! She's a Williams development driver and I think she hasn't (yet) got enough licence points... Plus, I would hope, that someone like Chadwick doesn't have to be in a team at the end of the grid, else it might even hurt the inspirational thingy (oh look a her, well, yeah... last...). She's a real racer with real prospects, AM would be great or AT. Or Williams if they find their way up!InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑04 Mar 2022, 18:50Does Jamie have some money behind her? Would love for her to be on the grid and be tested. Her appearance on the grid alone could inspire generations of women to go into open wheel racing.
If she couldn’t come up with enough sponsorship for a seat in F2, I doubt she will for F1InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑04 Mar 2022, 18:50Does Jamie have some money behind her?

My guess, with the bigger exposure of F1 va F2, that a sponsor deal for F1 is easier than F2. Deals for F2 are often investment deals and loans.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑04 Mar 2022, 20:08If she couldn’t come up with enough sponsorship for a seat in F2, I doubt she will for F1InsaneX_Badger wrote: ↑04 Mar 2022, 18:50Does Jamie have some money behind her?

I was thinking in comparative terms (to other drivers that actually had enough backing to racing in F2)… Considering that Haas is a team that needs to the backing / sponsoring (specially considering they are losing their main sponsor), I would venture to say that there are a few other drivers that could bring more sponsorship to the team (like Pietro) and that Haas would give priority.Jolle wrote: ↑04 Mar 2022, 20:23My guess, with the bigger exposure of F1 va F2, that a sponsor deal for F1 is easier than F2.

Once the Black Lives Matter movement was allowed to use F1 as a platform the argument of keeping politics out of the sport was lost, you can not cherry pick the acceptable parts to acknowledge whilst brushing the ones you'd rather overlook under the carpet.mclaren111 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 15:25I can't believe the stupidity in sanctioning poor Mazepin...

Anyway, what's sporty about being able to buy your way in? It's not like Nikita was there for his exquisite performance. And if the 'sport' component is essentially being able to collect enough money to get in, then yes, the source of that funding may play a role.mclaren111 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 15:25I can't believe the stupidity in sanctioning poor Mazepin...
