Maybe Di Resta can become Mercedes F1 test driver. He has a strong mercedes link. If i where Di Resta i would make switch if possible to drive a LMP1 car off Toyota, Audi or Porsche. DTM is not a long career, Indy car is to dangerous driving lunatic speeds with lunatic drivers on track not a good mix.

I disagree on Perez being a good qualifier. Usually when the Sauber was quick Koba was a couple of places higher then him.
And he pretty much leveled with Button who is really not considered a good qualifier. Ok yes but not good.

I'm still confused as who's actually driving for Sauber next year. Not an option for Paul?

Paul would more than likely be welcome in IRL. It'd be a good place for him to go at this point.

hulk will not have a big issue with Checko in qualy one or two times he might get beaten by circumstances that´s about it really .
the interesting bit will be the races-we will have to see how pirelli will perform.

But my own view is we will see the "thinking driver" coming good next year ...not only at FI .It will be all different as you need to have a lot of spare recources in the race to think about opportunities and plan ahead....Not all drivers in the field
will get this right ?

I'm hearing Gutierrez/Nasr for Sauber, but it's still murky.

To be honest, I'd love to see di Resta in Indycars. I'm already excited for 2014 with the return of Montoya, so it would be perfect if Paul could take over Dario's seat!

Well, not 6 confirmed as out. I still think we have a fair chance of VdG and Gutierrez getting drives in 2014, and who knows if Dad is going to find another season of Chilton adventures.
