el_cat should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Markelov and Makino confirmed at Russian Time.

You’d think that Markelov would have tried his hand at F1 by now - he’s not even done a test yet, has he, let alone a practice session. He’s obviously got the money behind him, now he has the superlicense points as well so not much more to achieve in F2. If he wins now, he falls into the Palmer/Leimer bracket of winning largely on the strength of being the most experienced man in the field. Anything less than the title and he’s at best stagnated.

Makino is an interesting one - went well in testing but it’s a big step up from a handful of half-decent outings in F3
