Strong selection, particularly glad someone picked up El Feghali as he had disappeared a little this year.

Wonder how long before they are dropped

[u/thereal84 → u/Optimal_Bench5423]

A couple of days

Does anyone have the records or any information of these drivers?

[u/GeeVeeF1 → u/clebinho75]

There's a good write-up on the selected drivers and their driving/series histories to date at the link here:

[u/clebinho75 → u/GeeVeeF1]

Thanks. None seem to be anything special, but it is also too early to tell. Let's see what future tells.

[u/natus92 → u/clebinho75]

Caranta might win F4 as a rookie when he was 15 for most of the year, not too bad

[u/clebinho75 → u/natus92]

Yea, but it is not italian F4. But of course, it is not too shabby.

[u/Alpha413 → u/clebinho75]

The big point in its favor is being centrally run, so there's no real question of how much a driver is helped by the team.

(and the central management is definitely fair, the FFSA's favorite, Arthur Dorison, is currently running 14th in the championship).

[u/clebinho75 → u/Alpha413]

Let's see when he joins italian F4... although that would make him not an F4 rookie, so the italian F4 tittle wouldn't be of much use.

[u/Alpha413 → u/clebinho75]

I don't think he will. Generally French F4 drivers graduate to FRECA.

[u/clebinho75 → u/Alpha413]

I see... I don't know if it can be called a saving grace since he won't run the risk of being trashed in italian F4... Orrr if it is a bad thing since he might have done well there. We can only imagine the outcome. Of course, chances are the trashed scenario was most likely, 90%+ chances of likely to have happened.

[u/Alpha413 → u/clebinho75]

I mean, last year's F4 champion, Evan Giltaire, is doing quite well, as is Alessandro Giusti, who won two years ago. Esteban Mason, who won in 2021 is also doing reasonably well in his first year in GTs.

[u/JoshyP2006 → u/clebinho75]

Red bull don’t send their juniors to Italian f4 anymore. It would be Spanish f4, but he will probably jump up to f3 spec.

[u/QC_1999]

Does Rocco have any relation with Tim and Tom?

[u/FalconIMGN → u/QC_1999]

Yeah, he's Tom's son.

[u/pioneerSolid3 → u/FalconIMGN]

Damn, then he's going to try to ruins the Mexican boy career haha

[u/Soggy_Bid_6607]

They’re really getting used that Slim money

[u/thereal84]

Why do they sign so many damn juniors when they don’t even let them get into F1????

ie Lawson, Iwasa
