Mehri will drive for Manor in Australia. He's one a one-race deal that he hopes will become a full season seat.

Never heard of him. Seems like a good guy. So... who'll replace him?

He did one or two races for Caterham last year.
Nothing much to shout about.

my mistake.

I just read that when he drove for Caterham he hadn't qualified for his Super License.
I assume he now has?

It's odd to me that I haven't seen or heard much stuff about him over this website, or any of the articles that I've read lately. Right now, all I know is that he won a championship in 2011 Formula 3 Euro series, and that he did 2 practice session for Caterham. I "heard" that he was being evaluated last year to take Kamui Kobayashi seat too, minus the fact he didn't have a super license at the time. Does anyone else know anything at all? I'm quite interested seeing another Spaniard in F1.

3rd in Formula Renault 3.5 last season, rookie year.

Seems like he's actually got some half-decent credentials.
I'm sure his chequebook is half-decent too

In the only DTM race I ever watched (apart from when I went to a Brands Hatch Event), Merhi started at the back, got a penalty early on and ended up 2nd.

Really now? That's quite sick...
