I was reading there about Di Reista saying he was fine with starting in a mid-feild team. Then it occured to me, well there are 2 race seats open at the minute, and what are you doing about it.

The kid has huge potential. He beat Vettel to the F3 crown in the same team, and nearly won DTM in his first year there. Whats stopping him from phoning either Honda or STR and saying "you think Vettel was quick" I mean, he's got a better case than Buemi, Senna or Di Grassi, hasn't he. Its fine saying you'll willing to wait, but honestly, if you don't do anything about it, who is going to.

Isn't he under contract to McLaren? That must have an impact on things...

...and also, the DTM holds much less weight than GP2, which Di Grassi and Senna were especially good in this year.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??
