Inquiring Minds wanna Know…
What had been a fairly quiet start to April,
revved up Thursday morning, April 9th.
Whale’, at least for Mwah. Awaking to the news
that the FIA had rescheduled two Formula 2 rounds to the forthcoming Miami and
Montreal races. The first time Formula 2 will compete in North America.
With the Canadian Grand Prix unwisely being
held the very same day as some ‘lil ‘OL Oval race at 16th & Georgetown. Throwing
a spanner in Colton Herta’s plans to run the fourth Andretti Global entry at
Mother Speedway, due to clashing with His “Day Job”.
As Herta was ranked 11th in the Formula 2
standings following the Melbourne rounds, before Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were
cancelled due to the ongoing Iran War. With Colton hoping to garner enough points
to secure a FIA Super license in order to race in Formula 1 for Cadillac.
Although not sure
why He’d want to compete in the “Battery World championship”. Or who Herta
would “Bump” from the current Cadillac F1 driver lineup, Eh?
Andretti Global’s new IndyCar boss Ron Ruzewski
immediately told Marshal Pruett that Andretti Global would therefore just focus
upon its three fulltime IndyCar drivers and not run a fourth entry this May
after Herta got “Bumped”.
Thus, this would imply there’s a single Honda
engine lease available. With word still waiting on whether or not Prema
Racing’s new
Single car venture shows up at Mother Speedway?
As Pruett notes that three possibilities to
field the 33rd entry for Indianapolis seemingly is between Prema, A. J. Foyt
Enterprises or Bryan Herta Autosport.
As my “Money’s” on BHA (Herta) running a single
car entry for Thy Leggy Juan’, aka Katherine Legge with Honda power. Since
Larry foyt has said they’re not planning on running a third entry.
Although Stefan Wilson and Sparky’, aka Devlin
DeFrancesco have both been mentioned as having the necessary budget and
obviously seeking a ride. While Juncos Hollinger Racing supposedly has plenty
‘O spare Dallara DW12 chassis…
As perhaps we’ll have more clarity at the end of the month during the two day Open test between April 28-29 ?
