Any news on the second Carlin seat?

GP2 TWPC will be in 2016 as ever, with the Barcelona predictions, and usual Championship ones.
2015 results are far done, only it's hard to write the final report in four different languages, with lack of translators.

I talked to Marvin yesterday and he said there'll be a second driver, but it's not clear yet who and if he drives the whole season or there'll be more than one driver for the cockpit.

I hope Moss isn't still commentating.

Unlikely I know, but Jack Nichols and Karun Chandhok would be spot on

which Moss was that? Stirling would be great

well, there one issue on that one, the london e prix which clashies with the red bull ring round

skells22 · 10 May 2016, 14:26 (Ref:3640630)

Theodore racing (I have a feeling some of you might know that name) will take Status GP2 slot and time is not on Theodre racing side as it has to find 2 drivers very fast with Carlin also need 1

i think you've misread the story there.

"status" are skipping at least the first round until they can find a buyer or a financial situation that suits. theodore are "strengthening their partnership" with prema, whatever that means. two seperate stories, connected by the status team co-owner, teddy yip.

skells22 · 10 May 2016, 21:20 (Ref:3640722)

thankyou for correcting me

sounds very odd to have a team owner founding an other team in the same championship

**bella** · 11 May 2016, 08:55 (Ref:3640812)

...but prema already exist...

As you previously said Teddy Yip Jnr is already part owner of Status and are trying to rejoin the GP2 serie so i do not really understand the logic to support Prema ....

**bella** · 11 May 2016, 10:57 (Ref:3640835)

without knowing what his exact involvement was with status in the first place (and what his actual involvement is with prema), i don't think it's hard to understand at all. just in practical terms it's much easier to get involved in a ready made, funded and well-run team like prema (who he "partnered" with at macau) than it is to try and continue an existing struggling team, even before they laid everyone off and sold up.

p-matt · 11 May 2016, 11:19 (Ref:3640846)

Will Buxton is co-comming races this weekend with Alex Jacques

Hmmm, strange sequence of events!

Par for the course in the top echelons lately!!

Lots of hidden motives I suspect.

**bella** · 11 May 2016, 13:48 (Ref:3640891)

yeah exactly, we're just sat here going by press releases and the faintest of jungle drums, there's no way we've got any idea what anyones up to!

i bet there's some interested parties in those gp2 entries though, especially if they can be deferred until the start of 2017 for no penalty.

Well, there'll be some decent accidents at least. Should we take bets on how many rounds he gets disqualified from this year?

**chunterer** · 12 May 2016, 22:31 (Ref:3641235)

Hang on it looked like Sergio was much calmer and more consistent in the rounds he did last year?

skells22 · 13 May 2016, 10:56 (Ref:3641323)

gasly is fastest from fp

Biscuits In A Red Bull · 13 May 2016, 17:35 (Ref:3641419)

Gasly on pole, from Nato and Lynn. Fine lap from Malja, more than I expected. An abundance of talent near the front of this field, and also near the back - Evans was only 18th!!!

They need an equal to Tom Kristensen in 1996 F3000 season.
Tom did great with Edenbridge winning two races, but he had no money, and had to step down some races to give the seat to another driver. That year showed the potential we knew later at his LeMans 24h wins with Audi.

If I were Trevor Carlin, I'd contact Renault and offer the seat to Esteban Ocon.
