Ouch, classic case of "this other driver has more money than you, therefore...au revoir".
https://racer.com/2019/11/14/pigot-out-at-ecr/ Really though, that is tough for Pigot, but I'll be looking forward to see what kind of performance VeeKay brings to the table. |

Complete turnover at ECR this off season. Jones released earlier and now Spencer Pigot has been given his release as well. Sounds like Rinus VeeKay is leading the way to replace him.

Very sad to hear that Hülkenberg rumours to Carpenter are not true.

It’s a bigger shame that he won’t be in F1 next season. Indycars are the next best thing for a man of his calibre, so it would be a shame if he doesn’t go there

Ah well, there’s always DTM, if he doesn’t replace Vettel

Bourdais dropped by Coyne. Could this open the door for Hinchcliffe?

Damn, I'm going to miss that sealmaster livery, one of my favorites over the last 2 years. Unless Bourdais can miraculously bring sealmaster with him in the event he finds another Indycar seat.

Maybe, but I thought the story was that Hinch was about 50% short of full season budget, even with his existing Honda sponsorship? Shame about Bourdais. I like him a lot. Hope he can find a ride, but there's not much available I think. |

I hope Bourdais gets a seat somewhere, even if it is not in Indycars

Announced the very same day, which is I guess consistent with Dale Coyne's statement that Bourdais had already been exploring other options. I'll miss him in IndyCar but I hope he enjoys IMSA (again). He's been a heck of a sports car shoe in the past. |

Man, I like both pigot and bourdais, and both way more than hinchcliffe. Sucks both will be gone. Just found a new favorite in imsa, though, even though barbosa isn't really one I'm a fan of. No reason for me to pull for ecr team anymore, as I have no knowledge of veekay, don't care about second part time car, and they dumped pigot, which I think is at least a year too early to give up on.

Hinchcliffe, Palou and Camara on Coyne's shortlist.

Hinch has some but apparently not even half of what the big teams needed. I could see him buying in to a Coyne seat for Indy though. Honda would be a big part of this seat no matter the number of races. I know nothing about Palou other than he wasn't storming the field in his single F2 season but seems to be running well in Super Formula. I would guess barring anything crazy it's Camara's seat to turn down. I don't know if SealMaster left with Bourdais or Coyne still has that sponsor in his pocket. If he does that helps Hinch, if not. |

Camara showed strongly in his first season (the last of GP2, the proper cars ) but flopped last year in the new F2 against an admittedly very strong top end of the field. He has done better this year but still way below where people expected him to be.
Change of scene will do him good. I mean, look at Ferruci!!! Palou has seemed very very good at times but has ducked in and out of series until this year. He was a contender for Nippon until the end I think? |
