F1: Allgreektome becomes Red Rag reserve	by Virgil Ellipse 1st Jul 2009

Reigning British Formula 3 champion Jaime Allgreektome is to take over Red Rag reserve driver duties from Pipkin Hartley, starting at the German Grand Prix. A team statement said that the move was part of Red Rag's development plan for the duo, who are both part of its young driver scheme. It had been intended to use Hartley from the start of the year but he didn't have a superlicence until five races into the season, so David Crapbeard deputised until the Spanish Grand Prix. Hartley now hands on the mantle to Allgreektome, who had a superlicence all along, thanks to his F3 title. So, um, why didn't they just use him to start with? The ban on in-season testing means that the third driver gets to do about five miles of straightline testing, attend the no doubt fascinating technical briefings and listen in on the team radio transmissions during a race weekend. A spokesman revealed that Allgreektome was "overjoyed" at the news and "can't wait to get some headphones with his initials on."
