I like what Mark Webber said on the BBC:

"We should have two starts, one for Grosjean and one for everyone else".

Give him a head start?

rosjean can race on Monday and everyone else on Sunday. It's safer that way.

What about Grosjean? Think he'll be dropped, the Lotus is a good seat too.

Alguersuari? Kovalainen back in?

Funny the comments made in this thread yesterday. Kobayashi has had a very unlucky season and with that still manages to be equal of not better than Perez in qualifying. It's likely that Suuka would have been his SECOND podium of the year given that he qualified 2nd in Spa and had the misfortune to be one of Grosjean's carnage eventual victims. He may not be as good with consistent race pace as Perez, but he's certainly more exciting to watch, and given today apparently better at overtaking than Perez.

It varies.

These new tires really hurt Kobayashi's aggressive style of driving.

Try that

Odd thing to censor.

Click on link, then replace *censored* in the address bar with F1 zone (w/o the space in between) - that'll do the trick.

I'll just copy and paste the article. It's less hassle.

Massa staying at Ferrari, Hulkenberg to Sauber
By Editor on Monday, October 8, 2012

Some more pieces of the 2013 ‘silly season’ puzzle are set to fall into place.

British broadcaster BBC reports with confidence that, with his return to the podium at Suzuka following a two-year drought, Felipe Massa could have his new contract to stay at Ferrari confirmed “before” this weekend’s Korean grand prix.

It’s a blow for Force India’s Paul di Resta and Nico Hulkenberg, who were linked strongly with the Maranello team’s potentially vacant cockpit.

But Switzerland’s Blick newspaper reports that German Hulkenberg has a back-up plan that is now “ready for the signatures”.

“Nico Hulkenberg will go to Sauber for at least two years,” veteran correspondent Roger Benoit reports from Japan.

Blick said former Toro Rosso racer Sebastien Buemi, who this year has been Red Bull’s official reserve driver, is in the hot seat to replace Hulkenberg.

But Force India’s Otmar Szafnauer is quoted as telling Blick’s Benoit: “Why doesn’t Sauber take Buemi?”

Thankfully this is still unofficial. As I pointed out in the Massa thread, Ferrari need to get serious and stop making emotional decisions in a professional sport.

With Perez off the table, the best opportunity for Ferrari would be Kovaleinen. He is the only other driver on the grid who does not have a drive next year and who is consistently outperforming his team mate.

If Ferrari signed anyone else then it would honestly show that they have lost their vision under their current team principle.

If it was true that would mean Sauber would be without and drivers. I would keep KK for a bit of continuity and as they are keeping TeleMex (spl) then I would say Esteban Gutiérrez.
