Giovinazzi
Great news that he now has a proper F1 role, though it gives the lie to the FDA income-generating scheme.

But what will it really mean? I bet if Kimi broke a leg snowmobiling, Ferrari would look elsewhere for a replacement.

Will he get Friday bum time? They do need to groom a replacement for Vet or Raik or both!

Because Ferrari have historically shown a strong aversion to very inexperienced drivers. When Massa was put out of action, they went for Badoer (disastrous but he was their long-serving tester) then Fisichella. In the past 20 years or do, Massa is the only young driver they've really groomed and elevated to a race seat.
Placing Giovinazzi at Sauber would make some sense for the Scuderia. |

Maybe he will go to Sauber, one of the two Ferrari 'b teams'

That seems quite likely indeed.

Oddly enough I think Wehrlein is most likely for Sauber now. I was hoping Giovinazzi would have a shot at a Jagonya Ayam Manor Racing seat! A Merc driver driving a Ferrari engined car and a Ferrari junior racing a Merc engined car? Stranger things have happened! |

The relationship between Ferrari and Sauber doesn't seem as close as it once was, and Haas seems to have usurped that position; Gutierrez went from Ferrari tester to Haas race seat (even if he has now been dropped), and if there is anything resembling a Ferrari B team now I think it is Haas. Of course, Marchionne is now saying that Alfa Romeo could be a Ferrari junior team, which would be interesting.

But Haas have Leclerc and Ferrucci which I'm guessing why grandprix.com thought Sauber was more likely as a third driver.
