MEMORANDUM
To: Panthera Competition
From: Marketing Executive, Waste Management
Subject: Worrying driver choice

Dear Panthera MD,

We at Waste Management are very concerned by your recent driver announcement. You have announced Francesco Pepitto as your lead driver in the car financially supported by our organisation, despite him not fitting our requested criteria.

While you are understandably free to employ someone else during races we are not bankrolling your car, we expect a driver matching our requirements to be in place for the six races we are paying for. If we do not see a change announced by the time the Freedom 100 has finished, you will be in breach of contract.

We hope the matter can be resolved in a positive manner, but you should be aware of the consequences of not adhering to our contractual stipulations.

Yours sincerely,
Waste Management

Late Indy Lights entrant Dream Racing appear to have fallen short of making the grid at the 11th hour, after Voeckler and AER - responsible for the series' chassis and engine respectively - refused to despatch the team's order of equipment.

The two companies were supposedly unsatisfied with the team's financials to allow a credit line for the equipment to be purchased and sent over to the newcomers, who now have a worrying situation of having two drivers signed, but no equipment to run them with.

Given the close proximity of the season start, and that neither supplier will let their equipment leave the factory until the American team offers sufficient proof of their liquidity, it looks highly likely that Dream will at the very least miss the opening round in Mexico.

If rumours of the team being unable to attract enough investment to begin their season on time, they may well not feature at all until after the Freedom 100, with the lead times from financial approval to equipment delivery taking over a month.

I can't run an RNG as I do not understand the specifics of your request. It is too vague in its current form.

Gambino has no canon experience at the third or fourth tiers of competition, and thus Indy Lights has denied him a competition license.

Would you say Gambino is far too Childish?
