Fernandez MIGHT race...
From Autosport...
"I still cannot put more than 50 percent of my weight on my left side and I am still very stiff," said Fernandez. Tom Anderson, managing director of Fernandez Racing explained the team's approach to this weekend's race. "Our plan is to go to Elkhart Lake with one car prepared for Adrian and one for Max. We will put Adrian in the car for the first practice session on Friday and see how he fares. If he is unable to drive then Max will take over again this weekend." |

Must be wierd for Max, going to the race having to subconsciously hope that your boss is still in pain, so you can get the drive.

What if he decides to try to race and has to pull out of the race after 10 laps?
IMO he'd be best advised to let Max race one more and come back in Montreal. |

Sounds like he'll be in a lot of pain if he races... I bet he'll be chugging pain killers just to get into the car..
It would probably be better for him to just let Max drive, but if he wants to show he's tough.... |

Let Max drive Adrian. May help him get a decent ride for next year.

I've got a feeling that Max might already have a decent ride for next year. As Adrian's teammate.

Interesting... Adrian set 3rd fastest in Friday practice. First-round qualifying may be crucial for the race, as Saturday's forecast calls for rain.
