Sutil, di Resta and Hülkenberg (reserve) for Force India.

As for the car, not much news on it really.

Obviously!! Yoshi got his seat and Princess Peach got Yoshi's old seat

Back on topic, however. Is there anyone who still thinks Hulk should've gotten that second seat, rather than Di Resta? I know I do.

Hulk did okay last year, but didn't really blow me away. When they raced in F3 Di Resta beat Vettel, so you never know... I say give the kid a chance.

That said I think Hulk should have had a race seat somewhere on the grid and it's a shame he didn't.

i still have my doubts over this lineup...

Sutil will be comfortable with the team and will really flourish if he gets a good car. Di Resta has also been a part of the team for quite sometime now but i do not know really how well he has done when compared to fellow F1 drivers...

Hulk is good.. he will be fast if the car is going to be good...

Again the deciding point is the car... How well is the car developed to cope with the Renaults and Willams.... That is going to be the key this season

Giorgio Pantano and Liuzzi were both godlike karters, and they don't even have a seat in F1. Grosjean was better than Kobayashi too when they were teammates, no? And wasn't Schumi average back before he went into F1? He was in DTM or something?

Didn't say that he was going to make the transition, but his ability in other series at least warrants a team like Force India giving him a try does it not?
