THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT [A.L]

LETTER 47

Dear Louise,

I have to say that since the Dutch GP and the Japanese GP, a bunch of F1 teams have been interested to offer you a spot in their academies. I have received multiple offers that I think you should check.

In copy, you'll find the different emails I've received. A quick sum-up :

- The Ferrari Driver Academy : the academy is pretty full, but since they dropped Marcus Armstrong, Callum Ilott and Mick Schumacher decided to leave, there's a little more space. They still have Robert Schwartzman as their test driver, Olli Bearman who might become your teammate in F3 if you decide to join Prema, Dino Beganovich in FRECA, Maya Weug, James Wharton and Rafael Camara in F4, Laura Camps Torras in karting and obviously Arthur in F2.

- The Red Bull Junior Teams : once again it's a pretty full academy. They have 4 drivers in F2 : Liam Lawson - Ayumu Iwasa - Dennis Hauger and Jehan Daruvala and 3 drivers in F3 : Isack Hadjar - Jonny Edgar and Jak Crawford (your future teammate if you accept Prema's offer).

- The Alpine Academy : once again the Alpine academy is pretty full with already 2 drivers in F3 : Victor Martins and Caio Collet as well as 2 drivers in F2 : Olli Caldwell and Jack Doohan. They also have Hadrien David in FRECA. Alpine is a french team so choosing a french athlete is something logical for them but they already have Victor and Hadrien as french drivers so adding you would be a little too much i believe.

- The McLaren Young Driver Programme is pretty empty since they only have one driver, Ugo Ugochukwu, competing in F4.

I'd understand if you want to choose Ferrari. They do have a deep connection with your brother. But as your manager, I'd recommend selecting an academy that happens to be pretty empty, the only ones being Mercedes and McLaren. Since McLaren has been the only one to send a proposal, I'd recommend talking to them.

We can talk about this in our next meeting.
