Pascal Wehrlein to miss Chinese GP

If I was Monisha, I'd be letting the whole Ferrari factory at Marinello take turns on me if it meant I got a chance of a top ten finish at the end of the season. Sod the driver, look at the bigger picture. If she can get a significant cash/tech boost for this season by dropping Pascal, surely she would? Coming up with an 'injury' keeps Pascal's sponsors quiet (and hence, their money still rolling in) and gives her the chance to appease Ferrari and get some help.

I'm sure you intended it to be tongue in cheek but I think your post is pretty distasteful and out of line... "I'd be letting the whole Ferrari factory at Marinello take turns on me"... why, because she is a female team principal?

Oh do get over yourself, and stop being so morally offended because it's the done thing.

If it was Christian Horner I'd say the same.

Yeah, right...

Wehrlein is lucky that Gio stacked it today. After Oz, he had the opportunity to take that slot away (money notwithstanding).

But I still think that Wehrlein is a busted flush. Something not quite right in his attitude. Even the ROC crash was odd. After the finish line and no matter how many time I watch it I just can't comprehend what was going on in his head!

Gio's bill at the end of this weekend it going to be a big one...

Hmm - given the fact that PW flung that truly awful tricycle thing (stock 2.2 Litre engine and wider than a Range Rover) at a wall in the US of A and the fact that he is subsequently unable to follow his given occupation some 3 months later - how about the passenger - has he knocked on the door of a solicitor ???

It'd be safe to assume that the ROC organisers had a decent lawyer draft the waiver the passenger signed before they stepped into the venue.

Waivers aren't worth the paper they are written on. They don't stand up in court.

Of course they do - if they didn't the legal precedent would have been set and no one would bother asking for them any more. Perhaps the ones that you're aware of that have failed are imperfect; that's entirely possible if not drafted correctly.

Wehrlein back for Bahrain this weekend.

Not surprised after Gio's expense at Shanghai!

The crash, as there seems to be no link here

Also, what the hell was he doing?

Also, he's been cleared to return to F1:
