Morvannec F1 Press Release

Morvannec F1 Driver Press Release
Team Principle - Elof Valantor

Morvannec F1 has made changes to it's driver line up. Team principle Elof Valantor has confirmed that the teams contract with driver Dante Jimenez has been terminated by mutual consent.

"Dante came to me and asked to be released from his contract. He had received an offer from another team and wanted to pursue it. I felt that it was the right thing to do to let him. Dante has given a lot to this team and this is our way of thanking him - letting him do what he wants."

The change has caught many paddock insiders off guard as Morvannec F1 is a front running team and known to be a good team to drive for. Dante has not been available for comment.

The driver line up now looks like:

Drivers (Morvannec F1 does not employ team orders, use of driver numbering is purely for classification)
Driver 1 - Mylio Silvanos
Driver 2 - Emmanuel Erickson
Test Driver - Kirk Lassiter
Youth Driver - no youth driver

New driver Emmanuel Erickson is no stranger to F1 racing, and should see good service with Morvannec F1. Here's what Elof had to say:

"Emmanuel was a pretty easy choice really. We scanned the market for a young, promising driver with some developed skills. A driver of equal or greater talent and ability to Dante. I'm sure Emmanuel will prove his worth very quickly."

It is believed Emmanuel signed for somewhere near the £4,000,000 mark.
