Empty Seat at HamrHedZ ??

Natalie Pinkham Sky Sports F1's First Lady of the pitlane
gave us this transcript of the interview she will present on SkyTv about the recent rumours of an empty seat at HamrHedZ F1 team.

NP: Is it true you do not have a driver for next season in HamrHedZ F1 effort?
Ark: There are rumours of which we will address here.

NP: Why have you been so hard to sit down to get this interview about the rumours ?
Ark: There are many things in play.

NP: Are you secretly holding back the information and then announce to the world that Tim "Hollywood" Richmond will fill the seat?
Ark: No , we dont have plans for "Hollywood" to go to F1 [/B]. Not at this time. He still needs more experience. He just hasnt reached a top3 level in Indycar yet so we both feel he's not quite ready.
Although I can say with all honesty I have been approached by some prospects that want the HamrHedZ seat. And 1 of them , bless his soul , has great intentions but just isnt anywhere near "Hollywood's" level of experience.

NP: So what's behind all these rumours , everyone has been talking.
Ark: Here's one of the things I was told by one of my employees that he was told something that his grandmother's boyfriend overheard while using a public toilet. That " HamrHedZ has a vacant seat in F1".
And another employee told me that his sister's husbands best friends 3rd cousin had said that "Contracts have not been finalized for drivers at HamrHedZ".

NP: With the way you are conducting yourself in this interview ,I do believe that there is something amiss at HamrHedZ.
Ark: Let me assure you , it is no different this time of the season that drivers go shopping themselves ,all thru the different teams.

NP: So you are saying you have been approached by someone to fill the HamrHedZ seat?
Ark: I am saying rumours are just rumours. We have been approached and we will be approached again in the future about someone wanting to drive in F1.
We have been truly blessed since F1 began , with the drivers we have piloting the cars.
The last 2 seasons , Romadov and Cheever have been exceptional in the cars. They have performed as best can be . They have followed team orders to finish each race.
Next season we are bringing a different approach with more in-house projects . And are looking forward to better results.

NP: You still have'nt answered , is there a vacant seat at HamrHedZ?
Ark: Right now , at this very moment, driver contract negotiations are under way. We have set a deadline and of course we will entertain any drivers overtures.
The bottom line being we will do whats best for HamrHedZ. And we will gladly talk with anyone wanting to fill a seat.

NP: So when will you announce your driver lineup?
Ark: We may or may not.

NP: So there it is Ladies and Gents.
Rumours will be rumours is the best answer we can get at this time.
In my own opinion I can only guess that negotiations are underway not just here at HamrHedZ but at other teams too is why the big hesitation for answers.
It is noted that Romadov has been on a tear in Sport cars and Motorbikes winning and scoring podiums in many races.
One would suppose he is either shopping himself for another F1 seat or is doing his best to get a Trophy of the Champions invitation , although for the the latter one needs to have great results at some custom series too.
And we also would derive at the idea that Cheever is solidly in his seat as he's been very quiet and as always could'nt be reached for a comment.
