Vernay joins Pons for Spa FR3.5

Indy Lights champion and Peugeot Le Mans reserve driver Jean-Karl Vernay will make his Formula Renault 3.5 debut with Pons Racing at Spa this weekend. Vernay will occupy the team's second seat in place of Kiwi Dominic Storey in what is understood to be, at the moment, a one-off. "Unfortunately, I think it is unlikely that Dominic will return this season," said team manager Jordi Pons.

Boullier: 2013 engine debate open

Renault team principal Eric Boullier believes Formula 1 teams need to consider only what is best for the sport - rather than what suits their own interests ? when it comes to deciding what to do about future engine rules. Amid concerns from some teams that the move to 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engines from 2013 will lead to an unnecessary escalation in costs, and Bernie Ecclestone doubtful that the new power units are good for F1, there has been talk that the switch of engine formula could be delayed. With opinions between teams on the matter split, even though the new rules are already written into the regulations, Boullier, who was recently voted vice-chairman of the Formula One Teams' Association, thinks that careful thought needs to put into sorting out where the sport goes from here.
