I don't see it happening.


As opposed to 2011...


And effectively the years Nakajima was in alongside Rosberg.

Bottas is Reserve which was announced as well. So 2nd seat is whoever brings the cash it seems.

So, according to Van Vliet (reliable journalist) & his sources: Grosjean next to Raikkonen at Lotus, Senna 3rd driver. Reason would mainly be the sponsorship of Renault and Total. Petrov is seemingly in negotiations with Marussia (duh), as he could easily boot out Glock due to being Russian and having a lot of money. Jérôme D'Ambrosio is apparently close to agreement with the HRT-seat next to De La Rosa, and if that doesn't work out he'll be battling for the third driver spot at Lotus.

The talks of De Villota are being described as "pure marketing, she will just be there to look nice on the pictures"

Dani Clos will be a part of HRT, although not as a driver.

Not official, but Lotus has signed Grosjean. This is according to Khalil Beschir, a close 'friend' of F1Zone who was there. The team told Senna too.

Now Blick is saying that Bianchi will be with Sauber in place of Kobayashi. The latter could be at Williams.

Wat.

Fuck off Ferrari.

Any money you give to Sauber to install Bianchi will be more than offset by the money that he will cost them in repairs and fines.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Equally though, Sauber is Ferrari's B team. They already have Perez there and they'll be keen to train Bianchi up. I'd have thought Friday practice with the team would be more likely, even though Kobayashi was a little underwhelming as the season progressed.

Only because Sauber stopped development of their EBD thinking that they would be banned for good after Silverstone, meaning that they fell back behind Force India and STR, which meant that only Perez' unique ability to conserve his tyres got the team into the points at any point after that and before Suzuka.

Yes, but he still scored points... Take out the races Perez missed and they'd be level in the championship.
