Lotus F1 2013.. Off you go-!!

So...Kimi and whom will be driving?
I think Romain will stay 1 more season. He should be better next year I think.
He has got some real pace, and now with a full season behind him, he has the whole winter to ponder on it, and get himself organised. I think he will be good...

The rumour mill is saying Kamui Kobayashi and a few others are beig looked at for comparison as they seek to evaluate Their options... So all including Grosjean are basically being looked at fairly. I don't have a favourite but if I could pick some one myself I'd pick Bruno Senna.... But I'm sure Grosjean will stay..

IIRC Khaki Hovalovian is also a possible candidate

Why would they pick Senna? Lotus are a top team and Senna isn't a top driver.

If Lotus wanted Senna, they'd already have him. They dropped him last year, remember?

I didn't say they would pick senna I said i would..... Lol I'm a Senna fan even tho I know he's not a top driver... But they are lookin at everyone according to rumours..

Anyways the rumours must be true that their looking at their options because if not they would have Allready announced Grosjean..

Well you bet you are getting it right if you "rumour" about the fact that they are looking at everyone because they will eventually pick someone in that list. Please be more reserved when you make posts based on "rumours" and on what "someone somewhere said".

I race Grosjean with 75% chances for retaining the 2nd seat at Lotus next year.

To be fair - I have heard rumors that Lotus are looking at Kovalainen and Kobayashi.

I think they have already made one decision and that is they are not going to race with Grosjean in 2013.But, now they have to decide who is going to be that second driver.You have couple of drivers, but it's really tough decion.Should they chose pay-to-drive driver or someone faster or someone more realible?I think that is the right question.I quite like Grosjean, he is ok, but he had too many incidents which costed the team P3 in constructor's.The top team needs instant results.Why he has to adapt himself?It's not like sending an African guy to Russian front.There's no so big difference between GP2 and F1 car, otherwise, the other drivers are far more adaptable.

If they do not retain Romain, i would love to see Heiki in the car. 2 Finns. Heiki i feel has been overlooked during the last 2 or so seasons, and underrated. He has come a long way since his drive at Mclaren.

[ParanoiD]

if they wanted to keep Grosjean, what took them so long to confirm it?

personally I would like it to be KK or HK or if even possible RK to be driving alongside KR

With Heikki is kind of tricky because you don't know how he will perform with a better car after spending all this time close to the back of the grid at Caterham.

As one of Kimi's quotes go "He would be good giving way"
