RAK wrote:While Lotterer is known best for his victories at Le Mans, he isn't exactly a stranger to single-seaters. He is, to be fair, a fairly recent champion in Formula Nippon and managed to come a close second last year in Super Formula despite driving two fewer points-scoring races than the eventual winner. I'd rather see Kobayashi in the other Caterham as opposed to Ericsson, with Kobayashi being one of my favourite drivers and a better, more experienced driver than Ericsson. Nevertheless, I don't expect Lotterer to completely disgrace himself, even if he hasn't got any recent experience in Formula One cars.

Marussia say the change is being made due to “contractual issues” with Chilton.
Team principal John Booth said: “Although it was not our intention to offer Alexander the possibility to race this season, in light of the circumstances we are pleased to be providing him with the opportunity to make his Grand Prix debut at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix in Spa-Franchorchamps.”
“Naturally we hope to resume normal service with respect to our established race driver line-up as soon as possible, but for now we wish Alexander well for the weekend ahead and we look forward to seeing him in action.”

As much as I like Chilton, I honestly hope the rumour that he's out of money is true, because this statement reads as "Marussia are up shite creek".

W00t! Now we're talking! I don't care how much of a pay-driving hack he is, he's a 'MURICAN! He makes my blood boil with ALL-CAPS PATRIOTISM! He could flop harder than Scott Speed and I would still be proud of him! He's gotta be a shoe-in for a spot on the new Haas team now!
Calling it now: if he crashes at any point during the weekend, I want someone to make a .gif of the clip with a bald eagle, American flags, fireworks, etc. going off when he hits the wall. God, that will be glorious!

That is rather......ominous. But didn't Karun "volunteer" his seat at HRT as well (or was it Bruno?), and they lasted.......for a bit.

) in his appearance in 2009, so I really can't see any hope for Lotterer to be remotely competitive compared to Ericsson. I just hope that he isn't disgraced too much though as it unfairly reflects badly on Le Mans and the WEC.

Not actually too fussed about Max - these things happen, especially when you're a pay driver - I'm more worried for the team. Would be a crying shame for them to fall right when things were starting to look up. Almost has an air of Simtek about it - and they were both based in Banbury...
