Driver Line-up list for this weekend (Merged) - Page 3

nkfan · 22 Oct 2005, 07:54 (Ref:1440361)

So Armaan will be the youngest driver to drive in a A1 race.... I m not too sure if he can handle the feature race..He might get tired !!

So is there any one younger than armaan thats racing in this class or higher ?

Kicking-back · 22 Oct 2005, 08:28 (Ref:1440386)

16 is generally the youngest age that would be allowed in an international race, so I wouldn't expect anyone younger.

Closest would probably be Nelson Philippe, who was 17 when he started in ChampCar

Not sure about the Lamy story. He may have GT or sports car commitments. Parente has been saying for a while that he has been asked to do all the European rounds and, so far, he's doing okay in Estoril.

Japan aren't there because both drivers are otherwise engaged, Hideki Noda in Formula Nippon at Motegi and Ryo Fukuda in World Series by Renault at Monza. The team is also said to be short of sponsorship. No one else has had any time in the car. It sounds like an opening for a Japanese driver with money, but Sato still has F1 on his mind, sorry!

AndyVolykhov · 3 Nov 2005, 19:43 (Ref:1451526)

Roman Rusinov to drive for Russia in Australia (with Alexander Tyuryumin).

cos · 3 Nov 2005, 21:18 (Ref:1451602)

Speed can't make this weekend so Bryan Herta is driving for USA!

Kicking-back · 3 Nov 2005, 21:42 (Ref:1451619)

Excellent news

marcus · 3 Nov 2005, 21:52 (Ref:1451632)

Oh wild Bryan herta in A1 GP , now that is something very cool.

I hope he does well

Excuse me, learned mods, this post related to Estoril and has nothing at all to do with Eastern Creek!

marcus · 3 Nov 2005, 22:03 (Ref:1451642)

This thread was started well before the Portugal round and has just followed on since then instead of a new one for every round.

I wouldnt worry about it , but thanks for the update on Lamy

Kiwi3 · 4 Nov 2005, 02:10 (Ref:1451768)

It would make much more sense to have a different thread for each weekend, but anyway...

Anyone know why Scott Speed, Karun Chandhok and Tomas Scheckter are not available? USA, IND and RSA might be further back than otherwise in my opinion.

AndyVolykhov · 4 Nov 2005, 09:06 (Ref:1451920)

Update: Tyuryumin won't drive, Rusinov only.
Montermini for Italy, Shimoda for Japan.

Kiwi3 · 4 Nov 2005, 09:44 (Ref:1451943)

Why not the Russian driver that drove at Estoril? He did a good job.

marcus · 4 Nov 2005, 11:18 (Ref:1451999)

Hmmmmmmmmm your saying that Bryan Herta wont be as quick as Scott Speed ???

I think this weekend we will finally see the USA car on the pace it should be.

Bryan is a gun and I think he will do a fantastic job.

Montermini for italy will be great , he will either have an excellent race or have a spectacular crash , so either way he is good value

and kiwi if you wanted individual threads for each round then by all means start one or PM the mods of this forum

cos · 8 Dec 2005, 13:56 (Ref:1479726)

Driver changes for Dubai so far:
Sutil back for Germany
Yoong only for Malaysia
Dixon to give the NZL car a try on Friday
Legge to try the GBR car
any more?

jondownunder · 9 Dec 2005, 15:51 (Ref:1480578)

I see Massimiliano (Max) Busnelli is Driver #2 for Italy. I've always thought he was pretty talented. He was 3000 Pro Series champion this year.

strider · 9 Dec 2005, 16:08 (Ref:1480589)

Phil Giebler is driving for Team USA this weekend and finding the pace pretty hot so far. 22nd in both today's free practice sessions.

John Weed · 11 Dec 2005, 10:40 (Ref:1481562)

Brazil must have Oliveira or Di Grassi onboard very soon.
I agree Piquet is a good driver, but it's more than time for a change.

cos · 20 Feb 2006, 15:58 (Ref:1527115)

A round-up of expected driver changes for this weekend in Mexico:
Austria: Friesacher replaces Lauda
Canada: Patrick Carpentier
Germany: Schieder back
USA: Herta back?
Australia: Is Marshall staying?

Any other changes?

cos · 20 Feb 2006, 18:48 (Ref:1527239)

Looks like Graham Rahal (Bobby's son) could be driving for Lebanon (the family is of Lebanese origin for those who were wondering!)

**FIRE** · 20 Feb 2006, 19:32 (Ref:1527267)

Mondini replaces Jani

cos · 20 Feb 2006, 20:16 (Ref:1527310)

Only for USA and China. Jani will be racing in Mexico.

kipper · 20 Feb 2006, 20:57 (Ref:1527354)

I have to admit that I wasn't aware of Graham Rahal's Lebanese ancestory, but it will be interesting to see his performances and may provide an indication of his ability; also it will undoubtedly give him some experience to draw on. On a wider a note, it gives Team Lebanon and A1GP a bit of a boost by having a famous name.

marcus · 20 Feb 2006, 21:52 (Ref:1527428)

yes I believe Marshall is staying with australia for mexico , he raced champcar there last year so he has track knowledge which will help him a little bit.

lauda out at Austria

who is this friesacher fella though , there seems to be 400 of them i can never remember who is who.

a shame that neel jani is being replaced , that guy is very quick indeed , ohh I just read back though the thread and see that he is racing in mexico , but why change him at all ??? GP2 commitments perhaps ??

Marcel ten Caat · 20 Feb 2006, 21:54 (Ref:1527433)

Toro Rosso testing commitments

Patrick Freisacher. Completed a part season for Minardi in F1 last year, finishing sixth (and indeed, last) in the US GP. Prior to that, he achieved some success in Formula 3000 driving for teams such as Coloni, Red Bull Jr and Super Nova.
