Well over 50 nations are competing for an Olympic medal…I won’t be doing a line up for every country or I’d be here till New Year writing this. I will however choose 20!
Let’s put some rules in place though:
Team will have a two-car line up
One driver must be aged over 25
The other must be under 25 and over 16
Let’s go!
USA: Colton Herta and Josef Newgarden
📸 Two time Indy 500 winner, Josef Newgarden.
China: Zhou Guanyu and Gerrard Xie
📸 GB3 race winner Gerrard Xie.
Australia: Daniel Ricciardo and Oscar Piastri
📸 F1’s newest race winner.
France: Esteban Ocon and Victor Martins
📸 2022 F3 champion, Victor Martins.
Great Britain: Lewis Hamilton and Ollie Bearman
📸 201 podiums, 105 wins(and counting)…he and his Ferrari heir apparent could go for gold.
📸 South Korea: Heamin Choi and Michael Shin
📸 Michael Shin raced in FIA F3 for a couple of rounds and yes…homework was required for the other driver(he’s a GT4 driver!)
Japan: Tomoki Nojiri and Yuki Tsunoda
📸 Japan would be dark horses for the gold in my opinion.
Italy: Antonio Giovinazzi and Kimi Antonelli
📸 Kimi Antonelli has been tipped to go to the very top and already has a gold medal…at the FIA Motorsport Games!
Netherlands: Max Verstappen and Richard Verschoor
📸 Verstappen and Verschoor could certainly gun for gold.
Germany: Sebastian Vettel and Mick Schumacher
📸 Seriously…can we have this happen please?
Who would take the gold in your opinion?
Other potential teams:
India: Arjun Maini and Kush Maini
Canada: James Hinchcliffe and Lance Stroll
Belgium: Stoffel Vandoorne and Amaury Cordeel
Brazil: Lucas Di Grassi and Gabriel Bortoleto
