But it's a red cockpit... :wtf:

EDIT: Any chance Stefan Grand Prix is making another attempt to enter F1?

The only car with a similar color scheme would be the Toyota TF110. But the airbox shape doesn't really fit to that car. On the other hand the only cars with a similar airbox would be the Lotus/Renault cars and the Williams. Red Bull until 2016 also had a quite similar airbox.

Stop it :wink: , it's not about F1 race seat.

Out of the three mid-season replacements:
- only one makes sense but won't happen ($$$) - Stroll
- one is questionable and won't happen - Raikkonen
- and the one mentioned multiple times above makes the least sense and won't happen either - Palmer :) .

If there is a replacement that makes sense, it would be Palmer. Look to the performance of Hulkenberg and compare it with Palmer.
Stroll is giving Money to Williams. Palmer isn't giving Money to Renault. And when was the last time that Ferrari replaced a driver in the midle of a season? Palmer is the only driver that makes sense to be replaced.

In Glock's photo there's a split right across the back of the headrest. I doubt it's a race car chassis, more a mock up so it could be any team and for any reason. Edit: And no one knows when the photo was taken :roll:

I'm finding this story very strange. I almost don't see any press picking this story, not even for a clickbait.

so far off the radar. he not raced in f1 since 2012. but you are right it is odd that the only mention of this story is his own twitter and instagram. interestingly the instagram post does not say he will race this year only that its in talks. could it be a test driver role with a view to getting into the car in 2018.
next year there could be 3 drivers of the current grid not wanted to he may well have a seat.

Palmer
Stroll
Alonso (might not want f1 anymore)

Ericsson's butt is epoxied to that seat as long as Long-bow is a sponsor so I don't see Glock going to Sauber.

Some say the Manor assets could be bought up by a consortium of Chinese investors... Sounds familiar?

You saw it here first. McLaren Renault for the 2018 season....
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️
