By now you're aware of Sauber F1 driver
Pascal Wehrlein's lingering injury from last year's Race Of Champions, (ROC)
for which the Mercedes "Junior" Driver's failed to recover to full
100% F1 fighting Fitness to date.
With Pascal ruling himself out of racing Down
Under at Melbourne after running Friday's Free Practise sessions, Ferrari
Test/Reserve Driver Antonio Giovinazzi was inserted into the Sauber F1 cockpit, and
will now deputize once again for the injured German at this weekend's Chinese
Grand Prix, and most presumably Bahrain, which follows a week after in the
season's first Back-to-Back outing.
And just who is this Italian who was making his Formula 1 race
debut at age 23, becoming the first Italian Gran Primo Piloto' on the grid
since Trulli Scrumptious, nee Jarno Trulli retired at the end of 2011 behind the
keyboard of one of those warring Lotus Renault squads entries. As it'd be
wonderful to have an Italian driver back on the grid fulltime next year.
Although I must
confess that whenever I hear the term Super Sub', my mind immediately brings up
thou original Super Sub Roberto Moreno, not to mention Oriol
"Suitcase" Servia...
