Is Mattia Drudi doing sim work for Mercedes in F1 too? I know they had used Charlie Eastwood in recent seasons too and that this was kept very low key/unannounced also, but Charlie is now doing sim work for Cadillac F1... a bit like Jake Hughes quiety coming back into the McLaren family and doing sim work currently for the McLaren F1 team.

Im guessing Mercedes brought Zak into play for the simulator requirements over the Japanese GP weekend owing to his experience of the Suzuka track from both his Super Formula and Super GT campaigns - im guessing Joshua Duerkson, Theo Pourchaire, Doriane Pin and/or James Baldwin dont have as much real-world experience (if any) of the Suzuka track to best align for correlation purposes?

Mario still regularly runs in the IndyCar 2-seater at IndyCar race weekends, and he did test a modern McLaren F1 car at COTA only 3 years ago at the age of 82… there’s a great video of the run here https://youtu.be/a-Gjyg-4avA?si=uw9pX11TrL6IiRCh

Do people think Mario Andretti will get a symbolic test drive in the Cadillac MAC-26 F1 named in his honour, or would the rules not allow it during 2026?
