So who's gonna end up where then?

I find it all a bit depressing when the in-demand driver is Pastor Maldofuckingnado (> Lotus) and Hulk ends up without a decent gig (>Force India) again

I keep seeing the name of Marcus Erikkson mentioned re. Catherham, but even the Swedes I know raise an eyebrow about how good he might be.

Max Chilton seems to have somehow blagged a gig at Marussia despite having his doors blown off by Bianchi

And Paul Di Resta has taught us all a useful lesson about how unwise it is to moan like a drain about your employer, while not living up to your own hype. Thanks Paul, good luck in the US.

Massa's Ferrari race engineer (Rob Smedley) is following him to Williams.......'Okay so (Bottas?) is faster than you'..... :doh:

Edit, actually it looks like he won't be Massa's race engineer but a more senior role....

No surprise with Smedley. Would be nice to see Massa on old form (pre near death experience) when no longer a no.2 driver.

Yep i'd like to see him back on form, he was exciting to watch, but then I used to like watching Montoya and Kubica as well....

Yes, can't wait for the It's Go, Go, Go!

Lets hope Vettel (yawn) has entertained us long enough and the others get a chance to exhibit:close:

I won't miss Mark Webber TBH.

Pastorfuckingmaldonado - very good:)

Okay so (Bottas?) is faster than you' :^

Wonder if there will be any battery blow ups etc as there is so much more energy with ERS?

How long before all electric F1 then? Motor on each wheel etc etc. Pitstops for fresh Duracells:)

Good to see that Lotus have signed Maldonado as that gives them some additional income which not paying Raikonnen, suggests that they are likely to need right now.

Hopefully the Red cars will do better next season, especially with a new driver that knows what he is doing!
I don't know, I rather like it when they struggle :)

During my career the were by far the richest team with the best press image but didn't win the championship for 20 years. I rather think they are returning to their natural state now that the Ross effect is waning.

I would be prepared to bet a ha'ppeny of my own money that Alonso will beat Raikonnen.

I think that you are quite right Frank, but the, battles will be entertaining as Dave has just said. I am wondering if the teams will get the cars right from the first races..................
