Well, I personally hope that Leethal doesn't depart. Although I do think that after 4 years at GRM, it might be time for him to move on. It would only be for the money, however. Only 3 teams have consistently been quicker than GRM this year - DJR, T8 and HRT. We all know that there are no seats there for next year. So based on performance, it would be a backward step to leave GRM at all, IMHO.
Personally, I know he is very happy at GRM with the team environment and so on, but perhaps not making the amount of cash which he believes he deserves (and quite rightly so, me thinks).
If he does leave, Robbo Caruso to #1 driver (worthy replacement too, I might add). Names of replacements are endless, but Dave Besnard has a good shot at putting his hand up with a strong performance at PI and Bathurst. Personally, I don't believe that any FV8SS drivers are up to the main game level at this stage of the season. Steve Owen would be awesome!!!
