GP2 TWPC will be in 2016 as ever, with the Barcelona predictions, and usual Championship ones.
2015 results are far done, only it's hard to write the final report in four different languages, with lack of translators. |

I hope Moss isn't still commentating.
Unlikely I know, but Jack Nichols and Karun Chandhok would be spot on |

Theodore racing (I have a feeling some of you might know that name) will take Status GP2 slot and time is not on Theodre racing side as it has to find 2 drivers very fast with Carlin also need 1

i think you've misread the story there.
"status" are skipping at least the first round until they can find a buyer or a financial situation that suits. theodore are "strengthening their partnership" with prema, whatever that means. two seperate stories, connected by the status team co-owner, teddy yip. |

without knowing what his exact involvement was with status in the first place (and what his actual involvement is with prema), i don't think it's hard to understand at all. just in practical terms it's much easier to get involved in a ready made, funded and well-run team like prema (who he "partnered" with at macau) than it is to try and continue an existing struggling team, even before they laid everyone off and sold up.

yeah exactly, we're just sat here going by press releases and the faintest of jungle drums, there's no way we've got any idea what anyones up to!
i bet there's some interested parties in those gp2 entries though, especially if they can be deferred until the start of 2017 for no penalty. |

Hang on it looked like Sergio was much calmer and more consistent in the rounds he did last year?

Gasly on pole, from Nato and Lynn. Fine lap from Malja, more than I expected. An abundance of talent near the front of this field, and also near the back - Evans was only 18th!!!

They need an equal to Tom Kristensen in 1996 F3000 season.
Tom did great with Edenbridge winning two races, but he had no money, and had to step down some races to give the seat to another driver. That year showed the potential we knew later at his LeMans 24h wins with Audi. If I were Trevor Carlin, I'd contact Renault and offer the seat to Esteban Ocon. |
