Sources close to the situation are reporting that contract talks have broken down between the two, with Zappa asking for upwards of USD$1.25 million for her services, as well as preferred status within the team in regards to upgrades and improvements to the team's cars. The team has earned one win so far in 2020, with Kunimitsu Kino****a taking victory at the inaugural event in Valkenburg, as well as an additional podium at Motegi and a most laps led award at Phillip Island at the beginning of the season. Zappa, in comparison, only has one podium to her name, from Brno. The team has concluded that there are other drivers available that may be cheaper for equal capability on the market, and have ended their negotiations with the Italian driver, a bold move, but understandable given it has the likes of Diego Jaramillo, as well as CDR development talent Akira Sato on hand.[/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
