Joel Holland replied to the forum topic Robin Frijns in 2013: GP2 or just F1 ’testing’? in the group
F1 10 years, 4 months ago
I can’t see much point in him doing GP2. You don’t need to prove yourself there if you’ve just won 3.5 as a rookie against the best junior field in decades. Or is this a case of ‘he can’t be considered truly […]

He’s been liked with DTM, tested a DTM and said he’d like to do DTM, so I’m feeling that DTM may be his only option.

@adrianmorse Yeah, we’re getting a bit off-topic! But I will say that Frijns has the benefit of an F1 deal to go to the DTM with. Di Resta had has Mercedes ties which helped him back to F1, hence it not being a […]

@adrianmorse I think Frijns is looking at doing DTM as his racing alternative this year. One problem with GP2 is if you race you can’t run free practice in F1 (hence Bianchi going to FR3.5 this year). Frijns is […]

Early days indeed but this already has more potential than 2012 put together. With Calado back at ART and Nasr in his second season, and also ‘going home’ with a return to Carlin, two very talented drivers are […]

I’m a little worried about it. 47, not driven a single-seater in a decade, down-on-power Lotus engine, first time at Indy… frankly I think it’s a stupid idea from all sides. I’d be very happy to be proven […]

It’s been said that HVM are committed to the programme and that they were on-board with Lotus very early on. But if Simona is qualifying last every weekend and has absolutely no-one to share data with it’s going […]

It’s been said that HVM are committed to the programme and that they were on-board with Lotus very early on. But if Simona is qualifying last every weekend and has absolutely no-one to share data with it’s going to be incredibly difficult to keep it going. This has been a PR disaster for the brand.

It’s giant-killing because of the team. Coyne last year and now Dragon have nothing like the sort of resources Penske, Ganassi, Andretti and KV have. He was mighty last year too – his run of top-six finishes over […]

Curt Cavin just tweeted that Dragon have terminated their Lotus deal.
And then there were two: just Simona and Alesi in Lotus powered cars for Indy, presumably occupying positions 32 and 33. Wow. Shame my […]

A good question that @keithcollantine!
Looking through the 2010/11 entry lists, I can tell you he is not. Stefano Coletti did the last few races of the 2009 GP2 season before racing GP3 in 2012; Mikhail […]

Alesi is going to be scrapping with Katherine Legge for 32nd on the grid then. Can’t see him having more than Bourdais and Simona in the other B class cars.
Or, if Jay Howard gets a deal in a Honda/Chevy […]

@prisoner-monkeys I would say he could cut it in F1, but at 31 he’s almost certainly too old. And unless someone offers him a winning seat what’s the point anyway?

Gonzalez qualified a dizzying seventh!
Cecotto scored a point!
Thank goodness Valsecchi restored a sense of normality by winning – again. And what on earth were Lotus ART up to?! A disaster for such a crack operation.

Quite pleasantly surprised by Haryanto too. He’s very close to Chilton, who has two full seasons in GP2 under his belt. Dillmann looks handy enough too. Be interesting to see how he and Nasr get along off the […]
