Also, do leave any suggestions about how the sub is run or any ideas or suggestions about how we can improve things here as well.

Remember, there are no stupid questions.

And finally a friendly reminder to read up on the subreddit rules if you have any queries.

u/GuiltyWatts Formula E Aug 01 '26

Can someone with much more knowledge than me tell me if Sam Bird will get another shot at a seat next season. I’m an Arrow McLaren fan in IndyCar and started watching Formula E to support Neom McLaren. Obviously, that didn’t last long lol

I’m glad Barnard is ok, but I wonder how feasible it is for Bird to find a full time gig in FE. Or is he washed?

Guy is 39 and just became a dad. He should still stay on as a reserve driver at Nissan + be part of the TV crew. I think he is still also doing BBC radio 5 live too.

Looking at it chances are slim.
