Sad to see Perez go if true but Son of Magnus would be a good pick up for the team.

I have a technical question:
If Massa is at Williams and they're paying him to drive, can they charge sponsors more money for the real estate on the car by virtue of having a bigger name driver like massa in it? would this bigger name driver cause the director to point the camera at the Williams a little bit more often?

I don't think he is that much of a draw. Apart from in Brazil. Maybe Italy.

I don't think he is that popular in Brazil either after the rolling over for Alonso

Also they had Barrichello, who had a similar status to Massa, and he didn't get them very far.

Finished 10th in 2010 in an ok Williams (was nothing special that season). 2011 wasnt a good season but the Williams was as bad then as it was this year. I'd have liked to have seen Rubens in 2012 - I think he would have outscored Maldonado comfortably. He would have been quicker than Senna and more consistent than Maldonado!

But would he have won in Catalunya?

Apologies, mis understood you're post. The problem with Rubens is he was always the bridesmaid. He was always 2nd to Schumacher in the Ferrari dominance era and also at Brawn when they came good again Barrichello couldnt do enough to win the WDC and was beaten by Jenson!

Am I the only one who thinks that Maldonado AND Grosjean at Lotus would be the most suicidal pairing ever? Particularly if we see a repeat of their antics from 2012...

And if they build a race-winning car.... It could be 2010 all over again with the championship contenders crashing into each other...

It would only be like 2010 if the team decided to back one driver and nobble the other. If they let them race with equal equipment that would be great

I don't see why everyone is still freaking out over grosjean. I think he learned a lot from his mistakes last season, and has been doing a great job this season.

Don't worry, after a while we will stop. Maybe 2015..
