It’s not just in Formula 1 that the silly season is interesting. The constitution of the grid also has a considerable stake in the antechamber, and given the competition among the drivers and among the teams in order to obtain the best possible association, all these little people are doing it more and more earlier to ensure we are well off for next year. And too bad if the 2024 financial year is not yet completely completed. Before getting to the heart of the matter, let’s note that the grid takes a little longer than usual to form, with at least 3 seats still to be filled. The ever more prohibitive prices of F2 seasons are a cause, as are the uncertainties concerning certain drivers who are playing for the title and who are still looking to go to F1.
Let’s start by discussing absolute certainties, and there are two of them. The reigning Formula 3 champion, the Italian Leonardo Fornaroliwas officially announced in recent weeks at Invicta Racing, following the path successfully taken by Gabriel Bortoleto before him. The Brazilian was also F3 champion with Trident before signing with the Roulan team.
