Nigel Melker: "Ik krijg nooit genoeg van racen!"

Nigel Melker heeft genoeg te doen de komende maanden. De 21-jarige Nederlander combineert vanaf dit weekend zijn GP2-activiteiten met een programma in de World Series by Renault. Melker is de nieuwe vervanger van de geblesseerde Richie Stanaway aan de zijde van Marco Sorensen bij Lotus.

"Het tweede deel van het seizoen wordt lekker druk!", begint Melker. "Vorig jaar reed ik zowel in de GP3 als de Formule 3 EuroSeries dus ik weet hoe het is om in twee verschillende kampioenschappen te rijden. Het is lekker om extra kilometers te maken en ervaring op te doen in de World Series by Renault. Dit is een sterk kampioenschap met veel testrijders uit de Formule 1 dus het is een mooie krachtmeting."

"Het Lotus-team vroeg me met Marco Sorensen een soort shakedown uit te voeren, als vervanger van de op Spa-Francorchamps zwaar gecrashte Richie Stanaway. Ik kende de baan nog niet maar ik was direct snel en het team wilde mij graag in de auto hebben voor de komende race. Daarnaast was het lekker werken omdat ik zowel met een Nederlandse engineer als monteur kan samenwerken die ik beiden erg goed ken. Daarom kijk ik dan ook enorm uit naar het aanstaande raceweekend op Silverstone: ik krijg nooit genoeg van racen!"

  • Goede keuze van Melker om ook nog een paar race\'s te rijden in de WSR.
    Lotus is een veel beter team dan het GP2 team van Ocean Racing en dit is dan ook de kans om zich in deze klasse eens vooraan te melden.
    Melker is een racer puur sang en durft het tenminste aan om zich in 2 klasse\'s te laten zien net als vorig jaar in de GP3 en de F3 euroseries.
    Je kan jezelf af vragen of hij nu teveel hooi op zijn vork neemt,maar de gedrevenheid om zich zelf in de kijkert te rijden is mooi om te zien.
    Winnen is waarschijnlijk teveel gevraagd,maar een top 5 klassering zou een mooie opsteker zijn.
    Ben erg benieuwd wat Melker kan bewerkstelligen van het weekend.

      Idd, een coureur met de wil en de gedrevenheid om ervoor te gaan. Ik hoop dat dit een opmaat is naar meer (lees F1), want ik heb het idee ;) dat hij daar ook wel voor in aanmerking komt. S6!!
