The Indianapolis Star has reported that Robert Doornbos, the Dutch driver, will move to HVM Racing this weekend at the IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Oriol Servia, who has driven with the team in the past, will assume the ride.
At first, the story seemed to be a simple exchange of drivers for a road course race, which often happens. However, the article indicated that Doornbos will be driving for another team. The HVM Website announced that Doornbos will be their second driver through the 2010 season.
What happened? Doornbos’ record of three top 10 finishes in 12 races seems good for a rookie driver. Granted he had had his mishaps; all rookie drivers do. At Indianapolis, Arie Luyendyk was serving as his driver coach. Had that continued?
Servia, on the other hand, would like to have a deal for more than one race, the Star article adds. Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing seems to have some big decisions to make in the next few weeks.
