2016 GP2 silly season thread
We are heading the end of the season and I think it's time for the first speculations about who will drive where in 2016:
Some word's about my guesses: - Nyck de Vries is McLaren junior and as ART is McLaren Junior team, it is very likely that the Dutchman will drive for ART in GP2 alongside Honda Junior driver Nobuharu Matsushita, who wasn't that this season. But if Vasseur will be Renault F1 team principal, ART could become Renault Junior team with a driver like Rowland. - Status looks like to work together with Lotus (WSbR). With Renault very likely to buy the Lotus F1 team it could have an affect on both teams (Status and Lotus), but with the situation not clear yet my thought is that Vaxivière will move to Status GP2. - Gelael is very likely to stay at Carlin and with Giovinazzi also supported by Sean-GP it could be his team-mate again. - With links between MP and Manor and perhaps Manor as Mercedes junior team it could be a Mercedes Junior at MP. Rowland is testing the Mercedes simulator and the Briton had also done GP2 races yet with MP. So perhaps it could be Rowland at MP for a full season. - James Allen reports that Esteban Ocon could be Force India test driver next year with 8 to 10 outings in practice. As Hilmer is the Force India partner team this could be combined with a seat at Hilmer. There are also strong rumours about Charles Pic buying the Hilmer team (Hilmer denied it) which could end in a place for Arthur Pic. Possible line-up 2016: ART: Nobuharu Matsushista - Nyck de Vries Racing Engineering: Jordan King - Jazeman Jaafar Campos: Arthur Pic - Brandon Maisano DAMS: Alex Lynn - Pierre Gasly Rapax: Robert Visoiu - Kevin Ceccon Russian Time: Artem Markelov - Sergey Sirotkin Trident: Luca Ghiotto - Lance Stroll Status: Richie Stanaway - Matthieu Vaxivière Carlin: Sean Gelael - Antonio Giovinazzi MP: Oliver Rowland - Meindert van Buuren Lazarus: Sergio Canamasas - Patric Niederhauser Arden: Norman Nato - Nicholas Latifi Hilmer: Nick Yelloly - Esteban Ocon What are your suggestions with some explanations? |
