Simple then, Merc release him and RB signs him long-term and puts him in STR - which could be a very good seat in 2019 not they are sharing Red Bull tech a la Haas/Ferrari.
Umm....Wrong forum sub-section buddy. You want the F1 section.

Chat out of Sandown is that SDS is staying put at KR, and the #888 REC to be sold off.

The move was on but is has fallen over, Kostecki's likely the buyer for the REC.

It is a shame, I wanted to see what she would do in a pukka car.

I think a lot of people did.

Perhaps Tekno will have another shot at snaring her services?

She is retired really but I would personally have loved to see her with Leanne Tander in enduros in a 888 car.

The unfortunate part, if this comes true with the REC transfer, that the best Kostecki may not be behind the wheel...

There are better-suited female prospects out there, with all due respect to Mrs Tander.

True but I have had a crush on her since the FFord days and I feel we never saw what she was really capable of. So let me dream

Now I see her regularly socially, quite funny.

Agreed. Brodie is the only one who has shown sustained promise behind the wheel.

Interesting to see the Kostecki family gunning for the REC? A partnership with Tekno or Triple Eight supplied team perhaps?

Speaking of Triple Eight, will SVG be forced to give up the number 97 and either run as #888 or #88?

There's chat of retiring #888 in the same vein as #05.

Looked comfortable in front of the field at Sandown too..

That doesn't make much sense, it is the team's number?

Can't see that. 05 was Peter Brock's number, 888 is Triple Eight Race Engineering's number.

With some heavy hitters in terms of dollars involved in the deal, something has gone very wrong in the process for it to fall apart. There would be some high, yet reasonable expectations from those involved, in getting Ms De Silvestro and the brand's attached closer to the pointy end of the field.

For SDS to continue on at KR would be a complete waste of her time. It's pretty clear that the money invested in that program is not being put to good use in ensuring she's in competitive equipment.

With 3 of the 4 NisMoAu cars seemingly without full season commercial sponsorships onboard, necessity may be the cause...

Was it just me or was Ms De Silvestro not particularly angry at having her engine expire yesterday?
