  • Wow - great news catch, F1TODAY! We knew about the seat fitting, but not about the FIA application for driver change - which is a paperwork requirement for Geido Van de Gard to drive in P, Q and the Race. Inkling was that it was the FIA change application that Monisha balked at supplying earlier yesterday, and that could have earned her a night in jail. Also, the FIA driver change paperwork will allow the missing Super License to drop-down quickly for Giedo.

    Am not surprised that Ericcson is the driver who got displaced. Nasr's connection to the main sponsor and livery name (big bank) was expected to be a factor in that choice. Also, Nasr ran clean and fast in P2 while Ericcson had to retire early with a broken rear suspension.
