How F1's forgotten prodigy has been spurned again

Robin Frijns has impressed in adversity throughout his two seasons in Formula E, and his CV is littered with successes in single-seater and GT racing. So why is he on the sidelines yet again?

"I was disappointed." A pause. "Kind of angry, I would say. I don't think I did badly. It's unlucky. But it's not fun, not at all. It's a bit unfair."

This is a painful conversation, but probably a familiar one for Robin Frijns. There's no enjoyment in talking to a driver about times they have been spurned, rejected, screwed over - however you want to put it.
