Well that didn’t take long…
Spin for @JCecotto, red flag but we're already back to green. 1h16 remaining, no change into the Top 5 #WSR

Dean Stoneman’s first day as a Red Bull junior driver didn’t go well (he’s alright though):

A lot of hard hits on inside walls lately. Perhaps it’s time to put something other than concrete there?
Given Stoneman’s history of fighting adversity, that crash is nothing.
Huge, huge ups for Merhi putting the Pons entry on top of the morning session, and Beitske Visser for getting 4th in the afternoon outing. Ellinas looked strong too – this may not be as strong a field as we’ve seen in WSR lately, but it’s not entirely devoid of great talent. (Now it’s GP3 that I’m worried about.)
Here are all of the drivers in action in testing:
Nyck de Vries
Dean Stoneman
Jazeman Jaafar
Oliver Rowland
Nicholas Latifi
Egor Orudzhev
Facu Regalia
Johnny Cecotto Jnr
Matthieu Vaxiviere
Meindert van Buuren
Tio Ellinas
Gustav Malja
Alfonso Celis Jnr
Beitske Visser
Roy Nissany
Aurelian Panis
Pietro Fantin
Bruno Bonifacio
Sean Galeal
Tom Dillmann
Philo Paz Patrick Armand
Roberto Merhi
I feel like Beitske Visser is due for a breakout season. She’s been near the top of the times in every test since last season ended. Last year she was thrown into the deep end out of what is essentially Formula BMW/Formula 4 level competition. If she improves to a legitimate top 10 driver, I do hope she lands more than just a token “development driver” role at a midfield F1 team.
Gut feeling is that Stoneman will regularly outperform De Vries and cruise to the title, Merhi will drag the Benson Hedges Jord-er, Pons cars to wins, Jafaar and Rowland will find more consistency at Fortec, and Ellinas will be a surprise title contender.
just found in Twitter that Comtec Cam Twynham will drive a Porsche in Supercup
So Comtec need to change the lineup entirelyAre Comtec even going to show up? They’re on the entry list but they ran just one car for some races and skipped a handful of others.
