Not sure how I missed it but apparently the top 3 F1A finishers will go to FRECA in teams 4th car. 1. Garcia (PREMA) 2. Buhler (ART) That leaves Hamda Al Qubaisi in 3rd, but she is confirmed for a second season in F1A. I'm confused. Maybe that's an option, you're allowed 2 years In F1A. Apparently ...

DOLOMITE

I thought Nobels might be heading that way with the F4 entries she has had and the Ferrari backing. Seems appropriate given her age (17) at least. 48 single-seat races so far but no wins/podiums/fastest laps, I'm not seeing much potential from results alone but lets see. Just 2 seats remaining.

For the few people who follow this thread with interest, if you weren't aware I update the first post each year with who is racing where. Take a look.

F1A so far then, only 3 seats still to be confirmed.

So Weug not at Prema now and not teammates with Pin.

No, she is at Prema, I messed it up. Now fixed, thanks.

To be fair

"promote regional talent, engage with local communities, and increase the talent pool in the regions in which we race"

Fair enough then I guess.

DOLOMITE

Reema Juffali will race with Prema in F1A as the wildcard at the season opener in Abu Dhabi. I like her and it's impressive what she has achieved, but at 32 again I'm not really sure what the point is. She has been racing 6 years and has 100 single seater races under her belt and a lot of GT.

18 year old French driver Lola Lovinfosse back in F1A with Rodin and a rather awkward looking sponsor livery from a make up brand. She showed some promise last year with 3 podiums and some feisty drives.

Agree on all that regarding Pin and the WEC/Formula switch, but it's worth remembering that she was in the 2020 Girls On Track on the back of Karting. Single Seaters was probably always the intention and given her young age, the advent of F1A presented an opportunity to try again that was too good ...

Well Pin got her first win after on-track winner was penalised, but still a Pole and fastest Lap to go with it is pretty good.

I would agree with most of that, but will have an eye the GB3 grads Voisin, Dunne and Loake, there was some good racing between them. Also interested to see what Floersch can do with a better team.

Could Antonelli suffer Vandoorne's fate if he's fast tracked to F1? Has someone followed both of their junior careers and can comment how they compare? IIRC Vandoorne was not nearly as young as Antonelli would be next year. Possible I guess but much as rate George I don't think it compares to going...

Kimi Antonelli hasn't raced in F2 yet, so for those who have been paying attention to him over the last couple of years, what makes him stand out?

This is tricky because I think it depends so much on 1) Russell. If George excels this year and has the measure of Lewis then assume Merc are happy he is there No 1 for '25 so other driver can be a Bottas style steady hands or a rookie with potential to lead - i.e Antonelli If Russel doesn't show en...

I've gone with the majority vote. "Sharl" can pull off a might lap but something still seems to be missing on Sundays - and that's without the pressure a teammate like Lewis brings.
