So as expected, nothing for Pourchaire at Sauber and nothing for Martins at Alpine ! So you can say goodbye to F1

With Shwartzman in EL1 at Steakickauberfluo while he could be racing in one of the Scuderia's single-seaters, if Pourchaire has not yet understood that he has nothing to hope for from the pseudo Sauber Academy, he must change. job !
