Personally I didn't rate him - I think Wehrlein was a better driver

In my opinion, Pascal is the better driver, I just felt that he struggled to adapt to F1 after DTM and the fight for seats became quite cut throat. 

As a side note, does anyone know where Jolyon Palmer is racing (if at all) this year?

Best Regards,
Cal :)

Jolyon has joined the BBC Radio commentary team, since they cover the whole season of F1 races, quali and practices, on 5 live & sports extra, don't think there's time for driving in a series.

I think once you've been dropped from a team it's really hard
to rejoin the F1 Circus.

Alas, the number of drivers ready to join F1 is a very large pool, and you get your shot, and if you have bad luck, that's too bad and on to next name on the list.  It's not really fair, but F1 has always been cut throat.

Sadly, the talent that drivers can bring is often outweighed by the amount of money they bring. Personally, I'd like to see Newgarden get a shot at Grosjean's seat at Haas.

Anyone but Grosjean...believe he's wore out his welcome
