In a late move, Ocean Racing Technology have replaced Jon
Lancaster with Brendon Hartley. At the time of writing there has been no
reason given for this, but given Jon Lancaster's financial problems last
season, it seems possible that he has come into difficulty again.
Brendon Hartley
A former Red Bull
Junior Team member, Brendon Hartley is making a habit of replacing other
drivers in GP2. In 2010 he replaced Vladimir Arabadzhiev at Scuderia
Coloni for the last two rounds of the season, and in 2011 he replaced Kevin
Mirocha at Ocean Racing Technology. Despite his Red Bull backing, he
didn't quite achieve the results that might have been expected of him: in his
two seasons in Formula Renault 3.5 he failed to win a single race, and finished
10th in the championship in his best season before being dropped by
Red Bull. That said, in his two seasons
of GP2 he has performed well considering the amount of preparation he had, and
so he could well bring in points for Ocean Racing Technology.
