:shitwine: Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 No room for di Resta by the sounds of things. Too inconsistent, and no financial backing, so I'm not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 No room for di Resta by the sounds of things. Too inconsistent, and no financial backing, so I'm not surprised. I think he's 1 of the most consistent on the grid. His lack of backing is his problem. Plus he doesn't seem too popular within the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't got that "extra" turn of speed though. He's another DC or Barrichello or Heidfeld. Good but not brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 F1 is still a great spectacle but as a competitive sport it's finished.

A procession week in week out with 'overtaking' done in the pits. This latest idea is a desperate attempt to try to make it remotely interesting I'm not sure I agree with all of that, the problem is the current regulations allow for too big a variance in performance, f1 will always be a manufacturer series but the cars need to be close enough to allow the driver to make a difference, I think the 3or 4 years previous to this one have been OK but yes, changing the last race to double points is utterly ludicrous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than putting all the eggs in one basket at the soulless Abu Dhabi track, and even then, the championship might all be over by the time it comes to the final race, even with double points.

:shitwine: Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I think Perez is a decent driver - I don't think his podiums in 2012 were flukes.
