AND THE MOST RETARDED TEAM OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TO.....LOTUS

(Applause)

I love Eric sort of saying "we wanted the hulk but we are stuck with this guy!" Nothing like being second best and feeling loved before your first day at work.

Gotta respect Eric Boullier. Listen Pastor, I really wanted the other guy, but he doesn't have the funding from a national petrochemical company so, we settled for you.

Money Talks to be honest...

Thats absolutely fanatastic news for F1 and for all of us fans of racing

As it means Lotus are now likely to make the grid next year. This is the reality of F1 today every team except Ferrari, RBR and Merc have had to make driver decisions with finances in mind above performance.

Kimi is happy, they can now pay him

This leaves PDR out of a seat, some people may not like him, but we can all agree that it's a shame to see a driver with talent ousted by a driver with dosh (As Hulk moves back to FI as he wanted Lotus, but couldn't, and Sauber are getting a second pay driver; and Fi seem defiant on keeping Mr. Sutil for reasons that are beyond me).

The problem I see is why didn't McLaren just hire Di Resta instead of Magnussen? I mean,I get it that Magnussen has risen from McLaren's Drivers Program and that, but I don't take faith in the fact that he will do well because if anything, I have a feeling he'll be the team's achilles heel. Di Resta at least has experience and is a great driver, they should've have him the chance to be honest...

What? two Whiney British Guys in one team, the forum would explode

I will happily await his total annihilation at the hands of Fat John.

Very disappointed for Nico, though. He deserved that Lotus seat far more than Pastor ever could. Looks like his only option now may be Force India.

Two Whiny British idiots in a team or two people crashing everyone off the circuit? PICK YOUR POISON

I'm not sure they'd have gained anything by taking Di Resta over Perez. And it wasn't that they were unhappy with Perez, they wanted to keep button and Perez and run Magnesun because some other team ( who Whitmarsh won't mention) reneged on a verbal agreement to take him, so they decided to run him themselves which left Perez out in the cold. Because Whitmarsh cant part with button.


But I take the point that Di Resta looses out to the likes of Maldonado is not good, a sad state of the sport.

[LiamCatterson]

It's a shame that acquiring a driver is 50/50 of Money and Talent, not just 100% talent... (sigh)

[Jabberwocky]

Force india are mclarens technical partner, wonder who that drive was with
