I'd have thought he'd be heading to sportscars - he'll get paid there, I can't see anyone in rallycross being able to match that.

Didn't he say he would like to do rallycross after his Formula 1 career? Or did he mean later on in his career?

James Allen was on BBC saying Jenson was talking about starting his own World RX team...

He's retired in most of the other races this year so I assume to do so in Japan would be almost certain ...
.... or have I missed something? |

I know Jenson has a lot of affection for rallycross because of his dad but has he ever said he would want to take part seriously after his F1 retirement? Is James Allen's comment a statement of fact or gossip? Link?
Either way, I could see Jenson doing one-off events perhaps... |

I'm glad to see Jenson will be staying in F1 for at least one more year, even though he is unlikely to see a podium in 2016 unless things really change for the better, and I can't see that happening.
He thoroughly enjoyed his taste of rallycross at Lydden recently, driving James Harrold's Beetle and a WRC MINI (can't wait for that to be broadcast by the BBC as part of a forthcoming F1 programme) but I can't see him jumping totally into RX when there is a lucrative and successful move into Sports Cars possible. Could he do both, thogh? Hmmm! Cheers, Steve |
