Pascal Wherlein Could Miss The First Test?
Reports today are suggesting that the young German drivers’ crash at Race Of Champions event in Miami last month has had a longer effect than first suspected as it was confirmed that he is still in pain with neck compression. He will undergo further tests at the end of the week to establish his fitness to test, however the stakes couldn’t be higher this close to the new season especially with a new car and a new team to learn about.
The Sauber driver was tipped for the second Mercedes seat alongside Lewis Hamilton however Finnish driver Valterri Bottas was chosen due to having the greater experience.
