I would like to think that Bottas will be in F1 in 2013, at the earliest. I think that Bottas will be either in a Hispania (as part of a free Williams transmission deal) or at Williams in 2013 (replacing Maldanado). But it is all dependant of what he can do if he gets a seat in GP2 next year.

However i belive there are drivers in GP2 that are every bit as good as him, also FR3.5 has drivers every bit as good as well with Vergne and Wickens.

Vergne's future is kind of sorted though isn't it? He's a Red Bull driver; who actually of late seem to be shooting themselves a bit. The drivers they dump end up winning WSR; and their drivers come 2nd (Vergne - Wickens; Ricciardo - Aleshin)

Wrong. As we speak they are shooting Ericssons ear rings and styling his beard so that he's faggy enough to drive for Mclaren next season (in succession of). You heard it here first.
"There is a credit card with the Ferrari logo, issued by Santander, which gives the scuderia a % of purchases made with the card...

I would guess that such a serious amount of money would allow them to ignore the constant complains of a car that was nowhere near as bad as their #1 driver tried to sell throughout the season.

Heck, a car on which Massa finishes in the podium or has to lift so that his teammate finishes ahead (As we saw often in the final races of the year) is, by no means, a "bad" car."

Got a kick out of this while looking back.

Yep, I'm prophetic :lol:

My point back then was if RBR wasn't happy with Alguersuari/Bumi, then they'd just get the boot and Vergne/Ricciardo would get the job.
