Silly Season 2013/14

[Leon]

would like to see 3 cars per team, as Ferrari wants ))) then every good driver can have a chance.

To do this though, we need to lose some teams. Bernie has made it clear that he would only (at a push) want:

Ferrari
Mclaren
Mercedes
Red Bull
Williams
Lotus
Sauber
Force India

I'm quite sure he would dump Toro Rosso, Caterham and Marussia straight away if he could guarantee 3 car teams from the above.

Nice balance of history from Mclaren-Williams-Ferrari-Lotus, plus a group of 90's entrants in Red Bull-Stewart, Mercedes-BAR, Sauber and FI-Jordan.

Still, I think this would be a thread in itself...

Mercedes is a little older than you give them credit... Tyrrell-BAR-Honda-Brawn-Mercedes

I'm actually ashamed of making such a newbie error!

Seems FI ditched Sutil....

Not heard of car being described as a carrot before! Certainly sounds like he's sticking two fingers to them on his way out of the door.

He should take a lesson from Button's interview after turning on the xmas lights in his home town - "we learned a lot this season", complete with his usual confident grin. No mention of carrots!

better off having a carrot then a glass in sutil's hands. i remember him arrogantly smiling as if he had a contract
in the bag for 2014. where's all that talk now?

To be honest, i didn't miss him when he luxed himself outta there, and i won't miss him when he's out the door again.
Never impressed, and seems like a bit of a hater and complainer. He seemed calmer this year, even though I think he
definately deserved a penalty for that abudhabi pass, but i kinda remember him balencing towards becoming a grosjean
or maldo on track back when he was still paired with that other washed up driver Liuzzi.

Have keen interest in a Hulk/Perez pairing, i think that might work well. And it would most definately be interesting to
see how they compete against eachother aswell - Both totally different drivers and style, yet both 'potential' drivers imho.

just bring out the news FI!

[NAPI10]

FI is lucky to have 2 talented drivers; both hungry for success and point to prove.

[djos]

Sutil is largely a waste of space, he's simply never done anything spectacular in his F1 career (beating DiR home most races doesn't count seeing as he rarely seems to finish)!

[Racer X]

I do agree Hulk Perez would settle the dabate on wether or not to categorize Perez a Pay driver or a Driver who is well sponsored.

Hulk Perez will be entertaining no matter where FI fights but hopefully near the top 8.

[djos]

I totally agree, my money is on Hulk showing Perez the back of his FI on a regular basis!

[marcush.]

I ´d guess Perez will fare similar to Hulk as he did this year with Button in terms of points score distribution.I doubt he can hold a candle against Nico in qualy though.The guy was really nailing it with precision this year.

[Racer X]

Well Perez did eventually out Qualify Jenson at McLaren 10-9 so we will see how a year of working learning from Button improved him. Hes youger then Hulk hes 23 spent two Good years at Sauber and one learning year at McLaren.

So i will put my money on Perez.

I don't know why but i think there is something the last season showed moments I'll be it flashes only but still showed moments of skill like im a Ayrton Senna esk way i can't wait im going to be looking forward to Force India.

[marcush.]

Hopefully this combo is delivering on its promise ....
Perez was not exactly blowing away Button but then so was Hamilton when it came to scoring points in a race over the season.

Is it more motivating to have a wealthy backer firmly staanding behind you or is it a bigger help knowing you need to deliver every time you go out to justify and prove your worth as you have no sponsors apart from your talent? I don´t know and sure both medals have their backsides and it depends on the guy who is in that position.
I ´d think Hulk is the bulletproof of the two so my money is on him.
