ここまでメリーさんは2回連続でZeta Corseでテストしているので、もうWSRで決まりなのかしら？と思ったら、何か知らんけどStatusのGP3でテストをしていた…！
Statusのテスト、メリーさんもびっくりだったけどスタナウェイにもびっくりでした。
メリーさんはともかく、スタナウェイはWECとかけもちする気があるってことか。
…ということで次はGP3の、3月27日・28日のエストリルでのテストの結果まとめ。

でした。
メリーさんはWSR（今はフォーミュラルノー3.5と言わないといけないのか）の開幕だけはZeta Corseから出場するけど、次以降はメルセデスのDTMのテストドライバーのお仕事もあるのでフル参戦は結果次第とかそんな感じの話のようです。
メリーさんまだ若いから、この先もキャリア続いていくといいな…
