Bianchi - If Sutil was good enough, why was he dropped for 2012?
is next... few people get second chances nowadays, if Grosjean wasn't French he'd have been kicked out to the curb.

Buemi set to sign new Red Bull deal
Jan.7 (GMM) Sebastien Buemi will not be on the Formula One grid in 2013 but will remain Red Bull’s official third and reserve driver, the Swiss newspaper Sonntagsblick reports.
It has already been reported that the former Toro Rosso racer, who served as Red Bull’s reserve in 2012, is now definitely out of the running for this year’s second Force India seat.
Sonntagsblick said the 24-year-old Swiss is this week in Brazil, where he is competing in Felipe Massa’s annual Florianopolis kart race.
“Before that,” said veteran correspondent Roger Benoit, “Buemi will again be signed as reserve driver for Red Bull and Toro Rosso.
“Team advisor Helmut Marko has agreed the renewal with Buemi,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Belgian newspaper Le Vif reported that Jerome d’Ambrosio is likely to remain Lotus’ official third driver in 2013.
The 27-year-old, who is managed by Lotus team boss Eric Boullier’s Gravity stable, has been working to return to the grid.
“My management is working hard,” said d’Ambrosio, “but it’s difficult because there are many experienced drivers without teams. We’ll see.”
FIA selects F1 doctor Hartstein’s successor
Jan.7 (GMM) The FIA has picked a successor to ousted Formula One doctor Gary Hartstein, although the name of the new doctor has not been revealed.
American Hartstein, groomed by the late Prof. Sid Watkins to succeed him in 2005, last month admitted that he was furious that the Jean Todt-led FIA had decided not to renew his contract.
“I might launch a crusade to get some answers, or get my f***ing job back, or let the world know what’s really going on on the medical side of the FIA,” he said on Twitter.
Switzerland’s Speed Week is now reporting that, according to sources in France, Hartstein’s successor has been selected.
“The name is still a secret,” read the report.
Speed Week added that “even a push by the F1 drivers in favour of the Belgian-domiciled American Hartstein was apparently fruitless”.

'Petrov backing to secure Caterham seat'
Vitaly Petrov is reportedly set to retain his Caterham seat although the deal won't be confirmed until all the sponsorship money has been paid to the team.
Although Caterham were rumoured to be making an announcement on Charles Pic's 2013 team-mate late last week, the team remained silent.
According to reports in Finland it was because the backmarker outfit was still considering "all options."
However, other sources now claim the team has finally come to a decision.
Turun Sanomat reports that Caterham's second seat will go to Petrov but that the deal will not be concluded until the "required sponsorship money has been paid into the team's account."
The article added that although Bruno Senna and Luiz Razia both came to the negotiating table with hefty sponsorship behind them, they were ruled out.
The reason for this was that Caterham felt neither driver had the experience needed to lead the team, which already has one inexperienced driver in Pic.
