Next Daniel Ricciardo - Luis Leeds

[FAS33]

Luis Leeds. Already signed with Red bull and will hear more about the kid in coming years. Already killing it in the lower classes.

[champcarman]

Got a bit to go before he can be considered Australia's next big hope. Perhaps Joey Mawson will win German F4 and graduate to Euro F3 with his current team.

Formula Ford champion Tom Randle is going places. Just announced a drive in the British LMP3 championship, and has another drive lined up for next year too.

[bella]

does randle have the budget though?

[bludvl_x19]

DREAM (Dean Randle's team) are running FFord and F4 campaigns in Australia for other youngsters, so there is probably a bit of an income stream there; plus he has a couple of 'decent' sponsors. I would presume that he does.

I think "killing it in the lower classes" is a bit over the top, he has had an alright year but 3rd in the standings behind Sennan Fielding and Max Fewtrell is hardly the stuff of the next big thing is it.

[FAS33]

He will be an F1 champion 10 times over my friend. maybe 11.

Just to clarify, this is the championship Randle will be racing in: http://www.prototypecup.com/2016-but...mpionship.html

It's a multi-class series with spec-engine LMP3s as the headliner, and Group CN forming secondary classes.

never heard of that. Thank's..

Thanks for that. The telegraph operator must not have been paying attention when she wrote the telegram out for me. I'll consider myself corrected

Its fair not to have heard of that championship as it hasn't had a race yet.

First ever race is at Snetterton in October.

So identical, but not the same as the Dunlop Prototype Cup which ran this year?



Going back to the subject, Leeds is OK but he hasn't done anything to suggest he deserves a F1 seat so far.
