A few Porsche driver rumours at the back end of this FE piece.
https://the-race.com/formula-e/porsc...ses-first-win/ Seems to rule Lotterer out of a drive slightly surprisingly. Wehrlein, Nasr, Kevin Estre, Mathieu Jaminet and Matt Campbell in the fray. Plus I think we also know Cameron on the IMSA side. |

With Antonio Giovinazzi not being retained at Alfa next year he must be a good bet for a plum Hypercar seat. If he pivots to Sportscars and commits to it he could have a fantastic career.
Look at Seb Buemi. When he left F1, who would have thought he would be the most successful driver of the WEC era. |

I saw Giovinazzi mentioned in connection with Formula E. Don't know if there is anything in it.

I said this before, I think, if F1 starts are anything to go by, Giovinazzi excels in traffic and he's properly quick. He'd definitely be in my Ferrari hypercar squad. And as far as I understand, he's still a Ferrari-contracted driver.

Would actually love to see Lotterer back in a Toyota. A 3rd car Lotterer/Senna/Ogier lineup in '23 would be legendary. |

I think when all the privateer teams sprout up into '24 Lotterer should be able to find a seat and can certainly help a team improve.
It's kind of wild he didn't win so much as a WEC round with Porsche. |

Lotterer is still a great driver and if I was looking for someone he'd be right at the top of my list.

My query is, considering his talents and surname, how come he's never to have had a chance in a factory car? If I had a team of my own, factory or otherwise, he'd be at the top of the list for drivers I'd want to try out - so what am I missing that the factory team bosses must be seeing? |

Is Senna still interested? He seems fairly comfortable with his ambassador role(s), I don't remember hearing any noises about him angling for a seat. Back to Lotterer - I still don't see a factory drive, but a budding privateer seat is a good shout. It'd beat making up the numbers in FE... |

I remember Bruno Senna being on the clumsy/crashy side in his early prototype career. Didn't some privateer team once run out of spares at Le Mans with him as a driver?

Whether he's been angling for a seat for 2022 and beyong or not I have no idea, just asking for peoples thoughts on why he never got a break with a factory team. |

He’s had some nice runs in P2’s in his time but would be midway at best through my list for factory seats |

Missed this yesterday but this in an interesting move from Ilott 12 months before the Ferrari Hypercar debuts - https://twitter.com/callum_ilott/sta...37309220024328
I kind of figured he'd be trying to get into a P2 but "a year away" does sound like he's going on a bit of work experience. |

19 works BMW drivers announced. Some of these guys will end up in the LMDh for sure.

Enjoyed that Daytona 24 qualifying race. Interesting to see Rene Rast laying down a load of fastest laps in LMP2 including a new lap record. Clearly getting some under the radar prototype running before his Audi LMDh drive is inevitably announced.

It's already been announced. Months ago. Check me out with my finger on the pulse...

Speaking of finger on the pulse, how did I miss Nick Cassidy signing on for Ferrari?
That's one hypercar seat in the Ferrari stable sorted. |
