:shitwine: Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 No point posting in the 2011 one when all news now will relate to next year. It will be great to see 6 World Champions on the grid next year with Kimi Raikkonen joining Lotus (last years Renault). The rumour mill on BBC today has suggested that Lotus are possibly bringing in a woman to be their reserve driver :omg!: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Currahee! Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Already tempted to bet Vettel to complete his hat-trick Probably will. Some teams haven't released there drivers for 2012 yet. Williams and Force India among them. Force India have a tough choice to make. di Resta, Sutil and Hulkenburg. 3 into 2 doesn't go. Should be di Resta and Hulkenburg but what about Sutil? Williams?

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think Di Resta and Hulkenburg are certs to get the drives for Force India with Sutil moving on, probably to Williams. Di Resta will end up at Mercedes if he continues to perform in 2012. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he was to get fit before the end of the season I'd imagine he'd get put back in Grosjean's seat. 2013 season he'll be at Ferrari to replace Massa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Getting shot of both Algesuari and Buemi for Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne. A bit of a gamble I think. Torro Rosso seem to have a set up that they only have rookie drivers, Buemi and Alguersuari have been there for over 2 seasons and are apparently not rookies anymore. Bit of a shame on Alguersuari, he looks like he's got some good potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bit of a shame on Alguersuari, he looks like he's got some good potential. I actually thought both drivers had potential. Its probably Red Bulls decision though. They probably don't rate either good enough so there's no point in Toro Rosso keeping them. Pity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. T Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'm just thinking maybe Alguersuari will go to HRT? They seem to be intent on becoming a Spanish national team. Jaime is Spanish, talented and needs a drive... so why not? Aside from the Williams spot which Sutil seems to be tipped for that's the only main seat left for 2012.

kingantti1874 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You know mate getting into the lead and being able to look after your tires was the primary reason vettel won the championship, not having to drive around in dirty air was an enormous factor for him (I'm not sure I like the fact that tires are so key TBH)... I don't blame him but some of the moves he pulled on Hamilton and especially the one on button were really bad... CW has to be a bit clearer on that one INO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CW has to be a bit clearer on that one INO Think from pole position it should be fair enough to penalise someone for making 2 moves to block seeing as they won't be trying to avoid cars in front of them, others in the grid it would be a lot harder to judge whether they are blocking moves or just trying to avoid colliding with those in front.

The starts will be tricky. The pole man should only be allowed one move though. The rest might be avoiding cars around and in front. Strange that Toro Rosso drop Buemi and he's now the official Red Bull reserve. Doesn't make sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
