Apparently I missed thee "Memo"
whilst "Oot 'N Aboot" on Holiday, along with thy lack 'O Telescreen
recently. Hence I wasn't aware that 2013 GP2 Champion Fabio Leimer,
who like other GP2 Alumni has been seeking his chance in Formula 1 was
named Manor Marussia's reserve driver last month.
Now the 26yr old Swiss Ace will finally make
his Formula 1 debut when he takes part in this weekend's Friday morning's Free
Practice (FP1) session for the Donington based team, presumably filling in for
Roberto Merhi? Just my best guess here, since think Manor Marussia F1's other
driver Will Stevens has monetary backing - whilst Leimer also brings much
needed Euros, Me Thinks.
As I'm ARSE-suming this is a warm-up audition
for Fabio to replace Merhi beginning at Spa? Since after all the Spaniard is
currently contesting the full Formula Renault 3.5 season and has been looking
over his shoulder at every Grand Prix he's entered this season...
