The cash-strapped Renault junior every F2 team wants
Things are moving quicker than usual in the Formula 2 driver market. Ironically, the one driver who could kickstart the concertina effect of an early silly season is a driver bringing only a small budget to his programme yet in demand throughout the paddock
Deals are being done for the 2020 Formula 2 season already, but one driver in an intriguing situation is the cash-strapped Renault Formula 1 junior who all the teams want.
Reigning GP3 Series champion Anthoine Hubert was able to step-up to the F2 championship this year in part thanks to increased involvement in his career from Renault, and his deal came so late - after post-season testing - that he was forced into a team from the bottom half of the 2018 points table in Arden.
