I will be very disappointed if any Lamborghini driver’s name doesn't end in an i.

Crikey that was a hard sentence to write, but I wanted those negatives.

Alpine saying Alonso will join their LMDh team when he departs F1.

Hopefully he'll be on the grid in 2024 when it debuts. Also an interesting nugget about their development drivers. They have quite a decent crop at the moment who could be in line for sportscars.

I had wondered about that.

Hypercar/GTP also a useful place to put young single seater drivers for Alpine, Ferrari, GM, Honda etc if they can't move up. Interesting times.

Seemed a bit of a falling out towards the end, maybe 2024 WEC with the team he got his first F1 chance with.

I still think its incredibly sad that there is no more Team Schnitzer. Surely they would have been the choice to run the BMW LMDh...?

I'm not sure about that, surely BMW would have kept Schnitzer on in that case?

The current partnerships suggest that manufacturers are looking for teams that are more self-sufficient than Schnitzer were, seeing as they had to fold when BMW pulled the plug.

Seems to be the common approach so far. We've not had a single flashy or leftfield driver announcement. On the one hand it's great to see these sportscar and manufacturer stalwarts getting these seats. But on the other, I do like to be surprised. And I've yet to be surprised.

Endurance-Info reporting that Raffaele Marciello has signed for an Italian manufacturer in Hypercar. However, Ferrari seems to be concentrating on their current factory GT drivers to fill up the seats. Could Marciello be the Isotta Fraschini driver?

No disrespect to that programme but he's one of the top GT3 drivers in the world. He should be with a fully fledged manufacturer. Lambo would be my guess as he'd be able to test the car and race GTs next season.
