Adrian Sutil has secured a deal with Sauber to ensure himself a race seat for 2014. He will effectively make the inverse move of Nico Hulkenberg who joined Force India following his departure at Sauber.
Are they going to retain Grojean because of TOTAL's money?Kiril Varbanov wrote:Boulier told ESPN: Few people - http://en.espnf1.com/lotusf1/motorsport ... 24869.htmlCHT wrote:Who are the drivers Lotus is talking to at the moment??
Massa and Hulk fighting for pole. Given the late refusal from Ferrari to Hulk, I think Massa may be 0.3 seconds ahead... But let's see.
I dont know who Leo Turuni is but obviously he is close to Ferrari. Excellent read. Use translator if necessary.Kiril Varbanov wrote:Leo Turuni offers his views on the RAI to SF transfer. Use your favorite translator: http://blog.quotidiano.net/turrini/2013 ... -kimi-bis/
No, they will need much more than that to fill the budget hole they created by overpaying Raikkonen for safe collecting points and ruining the team financially (not to mention lack of result).CHT wrote:Are they going to retain Grojean because of TOTAL's money?Kiril Varbanov wrote:Boulier told ESPN: Few people - http://en.espnf1.com/lotusf1/motorsport ... 24869.htmlCHT wrote:Who are the drivers Lotus is talking to at the moment??

Of course there are two camps at Red Bull. Everyone with half a brain cell can see that.spadeflush wrote:Maybe a bit off topic now, but a lot of ppl were bashing munudeges for his comments about Marko vs Horner-Newey. There have been rumors about the 2 camps, here's a link.

Because in 2014 car/engine development will be key. Who do you want in your F1 car? A qualified driver, with 11 years of experience, or a rookie from GP2/FR3.5? All those guys will probably have more pace, but that's about it. And I thought Massa was quite a good test-driver?Cold Fussion wrote:Why would any team hire Massa after the last 3 dismal years?
I'd downvote that if I could. You have got to be joking. Sure, it is opinions, but wow. As far as Hulk goes, I'd rate him the same as Nico Rosberg. He would be a very good choice. I'd get rid of Grossjean, although the team may not be able to dump Total.iotar__ wrote:No, they will need much more than that to fill the budget hole they created by overpaying Raikkonen for safe collecting points and ruining the team financially (not to mention lack of result).
It's going to be another clueless change for the worse. Funniest thing would be if they hire overrated Hulkenberg and Sauber turns out to be a similar or better car.
If you look at the last race, Massa most likely could have performed better. It looked like he purposely slowed to hold up Webber. He basically helped Alonso out as much as possible so Ferrari could get a result. Ferrari is changing their one man approach and going with a team constructors championship effort. They preach it, but now it looks like they mean it. They have to in order to fight Red Bull and Mercedes.munudeges wrote:Without results, no sponsors and no constructors' money. That's how most teams end up in a perpetual cycle of paying drivers who don't bring in results.................. I suppose I just fail to understand peoples' issues around here. Supporting a driver a bit zealously I can understand. Trying to denigrate a driver who is clearly bringing in the results is quite another.
