Even though I dislike the guy, Maldanado has proved his critics wrong this season. He was supposed to be a pay driver who's just Rubens shadow but instead he managed to overshadow Rubens! Quite impressive really...this guy might deserve a better seat in terms of driving potential, but he's a bit of a nut case on the track when he's pissed off. Not only the Spa incident, I think he collided with someone else on purpose during a race, can't remember the incident though.

OK, well let's hope he shows a bit more respect for his fellow racing drivers next season, whether it be letting them lap him without fuss, or refraining from causing purposeful collisions when not even racing / qualifying.

I can think of loads I'd rather have in that seat than him, and\i think they'd do a better job than him. he must have money.

He had Hugo Chavez (Pres of Venezuela) money, but now there's a parliamentary investigation about those funds, so who knows...

Maldonado confirmed... Abba singing: Money, money, money...

NNOOOOOO! Please trell me you're joking!!

How do we go about "trelling" someone something?

Back to topic.... good choice by Williams. Money and not a bad driver. Now to replace Barrichello with Sutil and they've got a good line-up with Renault engines. Should be good.

Tell. Not that tricky to work out.
Not a bad driver? No. none of them are bad. Not good either. Maybe when they investigate that money thing DD mentioned he'll become a hot potato

Good speeling costs nothing. My spelling gets pointed out at times despite me having an excuse so I'm doing the same.

As for Mandy, who cares where his money comes from? It really doesn't matter.

I dont point your spelling out. And im not interested in the reasons for it. If I get the point thats fine for me.
It doesnt matter where his money comes from? Really? So drug barons supporting him would be fine would it?

All money is tainted so if he supported by drug barons then so be it. Ain't going to bother me.

I don't know why Force India would get rid of Sutil in 2012.

So I'm predicting that Di Resta is given the flick - in a sort of similar fashion to Hulkenburg this year. Di Resta would have one year as a test driver with a team, maybe Mercedes? And then perhaps serve as Schumi's replacement come 2013 (although I can't remember if Schumi has a contract for then or not.)

I like the idea of Mercedes for Di Resta in the long term. With Schumi's past involvement with touring cars... And Di Resta's, it seems a perfect match.

But for FI to get rid of Sutil? It doesn't make sense. FI have been progressing forward on the grid ever since they joined F1 (they used to be backmarkers). I think a Sutil/Hulkenburg combination would be fantastic for FI and their next step in development/progression towards consistent podiums.

Sorry Azza di Resta is going no where with Mercedes backing.

Completely agree. But is it confirmed he's out yet?

[LewEngBridewell]

What??? Is he gay????

[Big Azza]

No not yet. But these "Sutil exit rumour" news items just have me a tad concerned. Force India's solution needs to have Sutil in it. So whether they drop Di Resta and go for Hulkenburg - or whether Hulkenburg leaves is the really the burning question for me next year.

When I look at his junior career results , I think it's a crying shame that he isn't on the grid - racing. And then you have guys like Mal- oh, probably best not start that rant again.

So - if Force India do decide to keep Di Resta - Hulkenburg goes... where?? Renault seems the only place or we see the back of him. I doubt we'll see him go back to Williams... HRT perhaps?
