Happy birthday to me !! 19 today :) It was announced the other day that Sam would be moving to jaguar racing next season replacing his WEC team mate (but not) James Calado. The move came as a shock to me and many other members of the twitter community, having been so sudden. But as laney says every race, eyes forward. Looking forward to see how Sam does at jaguar, and what opportunities this brings up with regards to who takes his seat next season. A formal team announcement will be made before Berlin next month as to who will be replacing Sam next season, with my bets on Nick Cassidy getting the seat. This due to the smashed lap record in Marrakesh, and also the fact that he got great results whilst filling in for Sam during the Race At Home challenge during the coronavirus pandemic. The other reason why this has surprised me is that I thought he would at least stay the Gen2 era with envision, and signed his year extension on his contract, which he did have on it. I am very shocked that this has happened, but know possibly how and why this has happened. Tbh, the car just wasn't performing as well as it did last season, and I think change is for the best in this situation. Like i said in the intro, it did come as a shock to me, and it will take some getting used to, but if Laney moves with Sam to Jag, that would be both awesome and sad at the same time. Ever since Laney joined with Alex Lynn at the start of Season 4, the banter level over the radio has been small but so funny. To see him leave EVR, well... I dont think that would be great, but having worked with Nick in F3 in Macau, i think he'll stay tbh. It wouldn't be the first time it had happened either, with Fabrice Rousell moving with Andre Lotterer to Porsche at the start of the season, both having worked together at techeetah previously . Typing my thoughts on this subject has been very difficult, as Sam has been with the team literally since day 1, and he is my fave driver, but as i have been saying to numerous people over the past 48 hours, it looks like jag and envision are now tied as my number 1 teams. Robin looks like he is staying though so at least that is one positive to take away from all this. What i love about robin is his brutal honesty and his wanting to nap all the time. That is me to a T if you know me, i am always napping, and when i voice my opinion i make my feelings known. If there is something i dont like, i will say i dont like it. I'm very blunt when it comes to opinions, and will voice my view about it. Anyways, it really has amazed me how this move has come around and how quickly it was decided. I really am gonna miss sam in purple, and wish him all the best at Jaguar for season 7 and beyond. Just want to say this as well. Sam will always be my fave as well as robin and Antonio and Nico. It’s just gonna take some getting used to. Dont forget to follow me on my socials guys. Ill leave links down below Natalie twitter.com/envisvirginfan
