Nothing pleasant situation for a team that is already in the first tests in Barcelona showed good performances and many ranked her - besides Ferrari and the usual two suspects Mercedesa in Red Bull Racing - v inner circle this year’s favorites. But as said, v Bahrain a completely different picture.
According to local rules, he must Ricciardo remain in quarantine until Thursday, then released in the evening to "freedom“. This would mean that he should enter immediately the next day race car and attend the first of the two free training, which perhaps it will not be physically feasible. A legitimate question arises, which racer could be a replacement for Ricciard. Colleagues from car engine and sport they asked Andreas Seidl, the head of the McLaren team, who had a clear answer to this.
According to him, he has McLaren agreement with the team Mercedes, where they serve as reserve racers Nyck de Vries in Stoffel vandoorne, who are thus entitled to perform in Bahrain. For De Vries this would be very special, as the young Dutchman was in the permanent seat (Alfa Romeo) game for this season in Formulas 1. Although interest existed, it did no team she did not decide for him. Because of this, he will perform in this year as well Formula E.
