At the beginning of this season, we mentioned as there was no Belgian driver in formula one since Bertrand Gachot in 1995. It seems that, this year could see the first Canadian in formula one since Jacques Villeneuve in 2006, and it's Robert Wickens could replace Jerome D'Ambrosio in Marussia Virgin Racing.
It seems, the sponsors who support the Belgian pilot have not paid and, on the other hand, the sponsors supporting the Canadian, are eager to pay and see its pilot to compete in formula one. Although the situation is worrying, Jerome did not want to give too much importance, for the time being.
But the situation must be serious, since Eric Boullier is traveling to Belgium to talk with sponsors who have not paid what they should. Wickens is competing in the Formula Renault 3.5, and these now leads the Championship, ahead of Jean-Eric Verge, Alexander Rossi and Albert Costa.
I have talked to the people of Virgin, and it seems that they are becoming impatient. They have said clearly that if it does not change the situation, they shall replace Jerome with another pilot.
