Robert Wickens could replace Jerome D'Ambrosio in Marussia Virgin Racing


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.

Jerome d'Ambrosio receives a penalty of five positions for the grid of the Grand Prize of Turkey


Jerome d'Ambrosio receives a penalty of five positions for the grid of the Grand Prize of Turkey, after having failed a few yellow flags at the second session of free practice, held this morning at the Istanbul Park circuit.
Specifically, the time that has happened the offense has been after one of the exits of track of Pastor Maldonado, in the area above the curve 8. It was then, when, according to the FIA, Jerome D'Ambrosio has not reduced the speed of progress.
Therefore, and in view of the grills of output we have seen so far, it is likely that Jerome D'Ambrosio comes out on Sunday from the last position of the starting grid, as it is virtually impossible to get finished in 18th position or better.
Will continue tomorrow morning to the action of the world of formula one, with the third session of training free, which, in principle will already see Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso on track, after their varied problems of this morning.
