I was skeptical before, but this is laughable.

I'd be very surprised if it didn't happen. These appear to be state companies private investors have invested into but state entities nevertheless and if anyone delivers; it should be them. These companies wouldn't be investing if it didn't come from the very top and I mean at a level higher than Sirotkin The Elder.

Maybe Sirotkin will have another year in FR3.5 where he can get some wins and prove his worth...

...and Robin Frijns has always been in the frame for a Sauber seat. If it wasn't for Telmex I'm pretty sure he'd be driving Gutierrez's car and actually have some points.

I don't think so. I imagine the money is strictly on condition that Sirotkin is driving that car next year, particularly at Sochi.
