GP2 driver changes
A persistent back injury beset Christian during last weeks test at the Paul Ricard circuit in France. Reluctantly after advice from his doctor, the Dane wisely decided to take time out to fully recover before deciding on his racing future. The whole team wish Christian all the best and a speedy recovery.
Team Principal David Sears commented: “The Super Nova team are extremely sad that Christian Bakkerud has been forced to stop through his injury, and hope he gets better quickly. We would also like to welcome back Andy Soucek, who has already showed great form with the team in Istanbul. We believe Andy is a real charger, and will immediately be on the pace. We are all looking forward to him completing the rest of the season, and fighting at the front of the field for the championship."
The team are already in Magny-Cours, preparing for the fourth round of the 2008 GP2 Main Series.
In other teams, Fisichella Motor Sport International welcomes Marko Asmer while 2007 GP2 runner-up Lucas di Grassi joins Barwa International Campos team. Finally, Michael Herck and Davide Valsecchi – both injured respectively in Bahrain and Istanbul – return to the competition this weekend in France with DPR and Durango.
