For possibly the only time in his F1 career to date, Latifi might not be slowest.

Hawkwood should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridHawkwood should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
Good luck to him!


Don't Haas still have Louis Delatraz as a test/development/reserve/whatever driver?
He's got a super licence too, anyone think he may have been a better choice?

I thought the new super licence procedure was supposed to stop drivers like this. Clearly the least talented driver to appear in a long time.

He has a lot of testing mileage (7 test sessions since 2018) with Haas which along with his Formula V8 3.5 Championship win I guess is how he has a Superlicence.

Deletraz (their other test/reserve), Mazepin and Schumacher (probably their next year's drivers) are at Bahrain doing F2 so all 3 are unavailable.
Fittipaldi is the most logical choice.

The 3 others are available at Abu Dhabi, we'll see who gets the seat there (if Romain doesn't return then and there)

Technically, that was the Asian F3 2019-2020 winter series (December - February). Not too uncommon for young drivers to keep themselves busy over winter. Calderon, Hughes, Mazepin and Doohan were there too.

It was asked previously when Perez had to miss an event 'what's the point of reserve drivers?'

Is this not one of the reasons - yet still gets knocked by some?

Can’t see anyone knocking the idea of having a reserve driver. Just that there are a lot of much better choices who could do it.

Hulk, Aitken, Deletraz, Ericsson, Kubica, Vips etc.

Although presumably Hulk or Aitken might now replace Russell if he goes to Merc.

It was in relation to Perez testing positive earlier in the season - where the question was asked 'what's the point in having a reserve driver [if you are going to appoint someone else]?'.

Of course the point of having a reserve driver is so that they can pay you a bundle of cash for privilege, knowing that you'd never let them near the car should the seat become vacant.

I wish him the best of luck. Fourth member of the family to race in F1, must be a new record. Or five, if you count Emmo’s son in law Max Papis!

I'm not sure Ericsson was as bad as everyone made him out to be.
Was never going to be a WDC but he held his own against a few decent drivers. Solid peddler and definitely isn't in the Max Chilton conversations.

He was a worthy F1 driver for sure. Very quick but perhaps not consistent enough.

Certainly Ericsson had quite a good junior record. FBMW UK and Japanese F3 champ and race winner in British F3 and GP2 ain't bad going. Decent driver, who didn't too bad against his team mates, until Leclerc came along and we know how good he is
