Williams Martini Racing 2015

[Hail22]

What's annoying is no announcement has been made yet, so perhaps Valteri may still race *fingers crossed*

[efuloni]

I might be wrong, but does Susie has a superlicense and can't get one with the new rules. If she doesn't, we must hope its nothing serious with Bottas, otherwise who will they put to run in the next race?

EDIT: yes, it seems she hasn't and can't have one:http://motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... -criteria/

[Hail22]

Bottas was a no show for the yearly Formula 1 drivers press photo shoot today which could be a sign he will not be racing today

I wonder who will replace Bottas. Having myself suffered a herniated disc that took months to recoved I don't think he will be racing soon.

Out of possibly available ones I'd try Kobayashi, Kovalainen, Sutil. I think Vergne and Gutierrez aren't available.

Frijns available and a big talent

putting your nationality aside, why would they look at a rookie who isn't doing top line driving?

[efuloni]

If they call a rookie, would be Lynn, who's already with the team. Vergne isn't available, I think. He would be the best option, I guess.

So who?
Kova? Sutil? Koba [-o< ...? Heidfeld?

[Sniffit]

Or go with someone that's already with the team and have driven the car?

Would make a lot more sense from a marketing pov then going with a rookie. Although I doubt Bottas will miss another GP.

If you mean Wolff, she does not have a Superlicense and cant get one, as i posted earlier.

[nacho]

With the fight with Ferrari I don't think they can afford any marketing stunts.

[efuloni]

If Bottas cant race, and thats a HUGE if, they would certanly search for an experienced driver in a fine moment of his career. This might sound obvious, but my point is that Williams wouldnt look for marketing or to promote any young driver's career neither. They would try to score the most points, only.

So I also dont think they would put a rookie, unless theyre out of options.

It is a bit naive to believe that such a regulation would stand in the way of her getting a super license. There are always exceptions to the rule.

please give Susie a chance to see her on track to prove that she is good for racing, and make more marketing as female on F1

[Jaybyrd767]

She doesn't have a good record in racing since karting.
No wins, no poles no fastest laps. Sheesh does chilton have a better record? Her record isn't any better than that girl Lotus are marketing now!
