Pretty sure he is still part of the young driver programme, so interesting to see how he stacks up against Camara, very big season for both of them.

Juntos · 13 Jan 2019, 23:24 (Ref:3876005)

How about Maini?

Yep,'my bad'

Illott and Correa sign for Charouz.

Arden pair up with HWA

**chunterer** · 24 Feb 2019, 14:46 (Ref:3886330)

Charouz is now the Alfa Junior Team

Actually, and strangely, it’s the Sauber Junior Team...

cds_uk · 24 Feb 2019, 19:02 (Ref:3886365)

So that leaves one Campos seat, one Trident and two MP seats to fill for the pre season tests, any ideas as to who will be in them?

Juntos · 25 Feb 2019, 18:33 (Ref:3886574)

Jordan King is back! Farewells can be shattering, but returns are surely worse. Solid flesh can never live up to the bright shadow cast by its absence.

All F2 teams are testing with two drivers. That means the four empty seats are temporarily filled.

- Jordan King (MP)
- Richard Verschoor (MP)
- Dorian Boccolacci (Campos)
- Ralph Boschung (Trident)

Nickberg555 · 4 Mar 2019, 23:21 (Ref:3888301)

Give Verschoor and King a MP seat. Boccolacci also deserves one

gert · 5 Mar 2019, 18:53 (Ref:3888474)

And Mehri is back again again again too, at Campos.

The Trident seat was (at least temporarily) occupied by Fuoco earlier.

Well if the series has an ex F1 driver in Mehri, why not an ex Indycar driver!!

el_cat · 20 Mar 2019, 16:20 (Ref:3892175)

9 days to go until practice starts and still 3 seats to fill. Any takers? Or

skells22 · 21 Mar 2019, 15:10 (Ref:3892481)

I have a feeling there are some very,very last minutes deals going on and F2 will say very close to start of practise who in the two mps and the campos car

cds_uk · 21 Mar 2019, 16:49 (Ref:3892492)

The Campos seat is probably a toss up between Merhi and Boccolacci, as for MP, i guess Raghunathan must be in the running if he has a big enough bag of cash, not sure if King is still trying to sort out an Indy drive or not, Boccolacci maybe if the Campos seat goes to someone else?

S griffin · 22 Mar 2019, 02:59 (Ref:3892627)

I think Merhi would be a good move, others not so sure. I wonder though if King has gone off to America

skells22 · 22 Mar 2019, 14:32 (Ref:3892739)

Boccolacci is confirmed for Campos which means only MP need to confirm its drivers and time is running out

el_cat · 22 Mar 2019, 14:54 (Ref:3892744)

I wonder if they will use Verschoor for Bahrain, seeing as there isn’t a concurrent F3 round? At least he’s had some seat time in F2 over the winter.

Other than Raghunathan, I don’t think anyone else tested in the recent sessions. Fuoco maybe but I wouldn’t expect him to show up at MP. So in which case they might be looking at someone coming in very raw having not had any F2 running since the tests at the back end of 2018

skells22 · 22 Mar 2019, 16:35 (Ref:3892766)

Well then the grid is now full as MP has finally spill the beans on its drivers

Jordan King & Mahaveer Raghunathan are the drivers in the team.

tux · 21 Jun 2019, 15:02 (Ref:3913335)

Alesi hit Deletraz on the outlap. Mazepins car blows up. Series is becoming a joke compared to what it was

peebee2 · 21 Jun 2019, 22:12 (Ref:3913399)

Tatiana and Ragu should enter their F2 cars in the F3 races. They wouldn’t win but they’d be closer to the pace.

tux · 22 Jun 2019, 15:08 (Ref:3913489)

Congratulations Sean Gelael......

Not sure why this needed a red flag, surely it’s possible to clean the track under SC?

tux · 23 Jun 2019, 01:09 (Ref:3913603)

Raghunathan Suspended from the next race weekend in Austria because he’s collected too many penalty points. He infringed VSC rules 3 times during race 1, Calderon infringed VSC twice, got a 10 second penalty and Gelael has to start from the pits for taking out Schumacher.

Juntos · 25 Jun 2019, 19:19 (Ref:3914179)

Very harsh penalty on Raghunathan. If he had a British surname or he had born a girl, I am pretty sure the penalty wouldn't be so heavy. Stewardship at FIA is living bad bad days.

S griffin · 25 Jun 2019, 20:07 (Ref:3914186)

Unfortunately if you reach the maximum penalty points that is it
