It’ll clash with Lando’s helmet this weekend:

Designed by a young fan, I absolutely love it! I want a similar one in F1 2020 now!

Was just about to post the Formula1.com article. Hectic man. Also who is their reserve driver even?

Sounds like Esteban Guiteriez (sp)

I feel sorry for him, but we all knew it was gonna happen sooner than later.

Racing Point are ā€œsharingā€ Reserve / Test drivers with Mercedes (and McLaren too I think) for this weird season. Officially it’s Stoffel Vandoorne or Esteban Gutierrez. But I think a lot depends on who is available - as in, in the UK and not having to quarantine.

They theoretically could use anyone with a valid F1 license if the FIA approve it, which they would.

Bring back The Hulk!!

I don’t know Esteban GutiĆ©rrez at all. How good a driver is he?

And apparently, Esteban GutiĆ©rrez does not have a valid superlicense at the moment… Reddit caught a tweet saying that the seat is being prepared for Hulkenburg.

Which would mean the Hulk only missed three races.
Which would mean the Hulk could realistically compete for a podium this weekend.

I really hope this is true!

I’ll be honest, I’m not a Hulkenberg fan. He is wildly overrated, was comprehensively beaten by multiple team mates, and it’s pretty much a meme at the moment that he hasn’t gotten a podium. But then again, he’s has more than his chances of getting that podium. The fact that he hasn’t gotten one speaks volumes about his lack of skill.

That said, he is better than any other options that Racing Point has at the moment.

I’m insulted that they did not consider Pastor Maldonado!
