Nothing like Autosport blatantly ignoring the ACTUAL words said by Honda to keep that Honda McLaren hatred going in the article. Exact same quotes and almost identical article to the one in Racer earlier in the day.

I have noticed similarities between articles in both Autosport and Racer. Maybe they share the same initial source? |

On the contrary, Jones will leave Ganassi.

Racer has referenced that in the article wrapping up the race, and RM mentioned it multiple times in his mailbag this week. They may not have confirmed it but the seat is taken by another driver and he's not adding a car so he must be out.

And why do have Urrutia listed amongst supposedly unemployed IndyCar drivers? He should be with the other 500 wannabes surely? |

Fair enough. It looks like Felix Rosenqvist has got the nod.

The rest (Jones, Kimball, Chilton, Hildebrand, Daly, Kaiser, ZCD, Chaves, Muñoz, Fittipaldi, King, Ferrucci, Binder and Urrutia) are all likely fighting for the spots left to 35 for Indy. I think there's a good chance we'll see 35 at least for Indy with Urrutia, Kimball, Daly, Ferrucci leading the pack. I think you could see Chavez in to hold Wickens place, but it could be a wide open race to hold it |

Urrutia doesn't have enough money to enter any IndyCar race. He needs a funded team, and these are scarce. Plus, his rather poor results this season don't make him as attractive as proven drivers like Jones, Muñoz or Hildebrand. I'm rather worried about his career. |

Couple of thoughts/questions: 1) Doesn't Jordan King have money? I'd imagine he'd be back with ECR but I guess evidence is lacking. 2) Munoz got the call for the last two races in the #6 Coyne car - wouldn't he be the odds-on favourite for next year until (if?) Wickens is back? I confess I have no idea as to his sponsorship situation. 3) Kimball surely still has Novo Nordisk money... again, wouldn't he likely be back with Carlin, particularly since they've said something about adding a third car? I guess we'll see. Last edited by rwintle; 21 Sep 2018 at 19:15. Reason: More wild-ass speculation |

Coyne approached Stoffel Vandoorne for 2019 drive, is also interested in Ocon.

Indycar is certainly getting more popular. I think Fred’s possible move helps

Harding still to decide on engines for 2019. However, due to Andretti Autosport's involvement with Harding this season, concerns have been raised about performance data being shared, as Harding used Chevy and Andretti Autosport use Honda.

I didn't think the engineering support would go without comment from the teams. It could be done by would require lots of NDAs and likely Indy management involvement to satisfy the other teams

Stoffel Vandoorne, Esteban Ocon and Pascal Wehrlein are all on the shortlists of various IndyCar team owners as they cast around for options.

Vandoorne seems to be a bit to afraid in IndyCar after what happened with Wickens. So I don't see him and Ocon in IndyCar.
Wehrlein will drive for Toro Rosso next season. If not, he is going to race Mahindra Formula E and 4 races with Schmidt in IndyCar. |

Now all that is needed is for John Henry to terminate that shite contract with that floundering team in nascar and go ahead and find an Indycar team to put some Fenway and RedSox logos on it! The Rivalry will take on a whole new meaning! heheheh |
