What future for Di Grassi?

Timo Glock's teammate at Virgin Racing is not confident about the rest of his career in F1. In addition to having to leave his wheel to Jérôme d?Ambrosio during the first Grand Prix free practice sessions, the Brazilian is now threatened by Giedo Van der Garde

Lucas Di Grassi would however like to continue to evolve within the British team. “ I am not yet sure what will happen next year, he explains to us. The most logical solution would be for me to stay with Virgin. I still have a lot to learn. We can progress together »

But places in F1 are expensive and securing a seat next season requires significant financial support. “ Now, it's certain that if a driver like d'Ambrosio comes with a big check, I won't be able to fight. » The DAMS driver is indeed seeking to raise an amount of 5 million euros to take the wheel of the Brazilian.

But the position of Lucas Di Grassi also interests Giedo Van der Garde, who could offer an amount twice as high as that requested for the Belgian driver. The Dutchman could thus join Pastor Maldonado, his current teammate from the Barwa Addax Team, in the premier discipline of motorsport.

Lucas Di Grassi must now agree to take into consideration all the perspectives that would allow him to keep a foot in F1. The Brazilian may no longer be a starting driver next season. “ Becoming 3rd driver of a top team could also be a good solution. »
