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.

I like those sweeping straights like turns 9/10 seem to be.

If the track layout is good (narrow road, close fences, grass, and elevation changes), it's awesome. I'm thinking Road America's backstraight, Surfer's Paradise main straight, A1-Ring between turns 2 and 3...

I love seeing the cars zoom past there, especially side-by-side, the sensation of speed is immense. I hope the effect isn't killed off with a 20m-wide road and miles of run-off both sides.

Unfortunately not, it already looks pretty flat on this earlier picture.

The track layout got photoshopped in here. But it will be flat obviously, I believe it will be an Abu-Dhabi-esque track in terms of look and feel.

It's not the Nigel thing, it's the endless pissing and moaning about some unchangeable aspect of F1.

Would much rather have FIF1 announce Sutil\Bianchi\Senna and watch the torrent of people who think they made the wrong choice signing Sutil\Bianchi\Senna

The good news is it should be before the launch of the VJM06.

The bad news is that is still a month away.

The delay does lead to speculation. Why the delay? Is Vijay waiting for the man with the most money? Alguersuari was 99% confirmed around October time, but he's dropped off of the radar. It makes little sense to run Bianchi - if he was that good, the team would have seen it from Friday practice data and decided to run him already, as Williams did by sacrificing Senna's money for Bottas. Force India uses a lot of McLaren data, so unless they're thinking of switching to Ferrari for 2014, I can't see it being Bianchi... unless Adrian finds getting to some countries a tad tricky.

I can't be the only person hoping that it isn't a di Resta/Sutil line-up...

The most recent news is that:

- Alguesuari will be doing DTM with BMW
- Force India will be switching from Mercedes to Ferrari in 2014 and therefore...
- Jules Bianchi will pocket the second ride

I can only imagine that if the above scenario is correct the delay is over the contracts between FI-Mercedes-Ferrari. Remember that Di Resta is a Mercedes driver.

I know about Bianchi/Ferrari, but that would be a bold move from Force India to switch, considering how large their deal with McLaren is. Good luck to anyone starting in the midfield in 2013, surrounded by Romain, Steve, Pastor and Jules!

With Lotus, the word on the street is that Honeywell will be their title sponsor.

Sorry, I got a bit out of the loop with Honeywell. Either way, their deal with Coca Cola was pretty good.

Steve is Esteban Gutierrez.

Unfortunately we don't all know Steve on a personal level because we wasn't at the Media Tent at Silverstone this year.
