Silly Season 2013/14

[Racer X]

I see hulk in either Lotus or Force India Paul knows that between Perez Hulk and Maldonado they will take all the seats.


Sauber
Force India
Lotus

Who will go where who knows.
But Paul seems to be done.

Hulk could go back to Force India or Lotus.

Sergio to all 3 teams.

Maldonado to Force India or Lotus.

Poor Paul.

frankly I think HUL is maybe better off with FINDIA than Lotus,
the best solution would be MAL and HUL at FINDIA,

[gray41]

Hulk to FI then potentially to Mercedes in 2016 if Lewis or Rosberg move on.

The strangest thing about Force India is that they are always in the news being in financial trouble, and they are the team that seems to be going for talent rather than money. When Williams dumbed Hulk, Force India brought him back even though he didn't have any sponsors or financial backing.

I am starting to have a real respect for this team after seeing how Lotus and Mclaren are traeting their drivers. =D>

[Racer X]

Same here i agree Force India has always maid the bet that talent will bring in success and they somehow make a bet they will figure out their finances somehow. Force India is quite impressive.

Sky F1 (weak source) mentioned Di Resta replacing Franchitti. It seemed so far fetched when I first hear that, but with a response that he was looking around F1 but realises he needs other options, could it be a backup plan?

Found this article on the DiResta to Chip Ganassi topic:

All speculation I'd say...

I think hulkenberg stays at sauber the reason i say this is because i think when Alonso would move to mclaren hulkenberg would be great for ferrari. Just a little thought of me

[raymondu999]

I remember Peter Windsor interviewed someone at Ferrari (not a high ranking official, otherwise I would've remembered the name) and he asked, "if and when Sebastian Vettel goes to Ferrari, who do you think would be his likely teammate?" "Hulkenberg."

I can totally see Ferrari going Vettel-Hulkenberg.

[Racer X]

Honestly ive never taught about it but yeah that could be.

[Sevach]

This Lotus/Hulkenberg situation is all kinds of weird, how can a team so openly say "we prefer Hulkenberg over Maldonado" like Lotus has said many times and then sign Maldonado?

When Williams ditched Hulk for Pastor, the official line was "Pastor is a GP2 champ and just as talented as Hulkenberg", even if they don't believe that (nobody did), that's how you sell your choice.
It will be a weird thing if they announce Maldonado...

Where does Perez stand in relation to the Lotus seat? Slim will back him again now that he is out of Mclaren (and Vodafone)?

The money still hasn't shown up in Lotus's accounts. The guy who is heading up the group to buy into Lotus looks to be a shady character. I don't expect the deal to go through. Maldonado will end up at Lotus, Hulk at either FI or Sauber.

Old news tbh.

Hulk signed with FI yesterday!

Source? Link?

If true, would Sauber consider having an all-Mexican lineup next season?

edit:

found link, it does not sound like it has been confirmed by team and driver:
