OOSTERHOUT OUSTED FROM RELENTLESS
_______________________________________
After just one race, the motorsport industry has been left in shock as Sabine Oosterhout was removed from the driver line-up ahead of the new season. Sabine is said to be disappointed with the decision, and stated that she had a lot more to give, and will continue to try and get into the pinnacle of the racing industry.
The replacement wasn't announced straight away, and there was speculation that Itzel Santiago was going to be re-instated within the team, considering she was the one that had been replaced. However, these rumours turned out to be false; although they weren't far from the truth.
In fact, the replacement for Sabine Oosterhout will be none other than the only driver to win the Championship for the UK team - Jamie Davies. Davies was dropped by the team the season before last, and had been replaced by current driver, Ryota Onishi. The Japanese driver had a great first season alongise the Mexican female driver - Itzel Santiago, and the fact that she didn't perform to standard was the reason that she was replaced by Sabine Oosterhout.
There was speculation at halfway through the season that Itzel may be replaced by Davies, when observers saw the British Champion visiting the factory on a regular basis. However, when Oosterhout replaced Santiago, it was assumed that this driver change would continue on into the new season.
"It's great to be back at Relentless Racing," The British driver said in his first interview since being re-hired by the team. "We've been in negotiation for sometime, and there were points where it didn't seem like it was going to be possible. But, we've come to an agreement which suits everyone and I'm extremely excited about getting back in the car, and hopefully challenging for wins and Championships once again,"
