Ha! Hulk to Shank is still on! :D :mrgreen:

Pity about Dragonspeed, but no massive loss in the grand scheme of things.

I thought that was last years rumour for this year... thought he ultimately had dismissed the thought of Indycar on safety and lack of liking ovals but may have that one wrong.

CGR #10 is back to where they were in 2018 then.

Just how are they going to be better off than with Ed Jones?

Not quite sure where you're going with that. I hold Palou in way higher regard than Ed Jones.

Jones were younger than Palou was in his rookie season, finished higher in the standings with the same team. Sure, Felix choked this year, but it's helluva shortsighted by CGR if they didn't put in any effort to keep Felix for a 3rd year. A revolving door on that car will not deliver results.
