and where does that leave Di Resta?,perceived wisdom is Gutierrrez to replace Kobayashi....which at least provides one funded seat...
Thinking aloud here - Ferrari 2014? Vettel and Horner have been rather vocal lately about not letting go of each other. Initially put it down to Horner being, well, Horner, however if Vettel doesn't make the jump, I can see Di Resta in the red cars.
This is the only big team opening that I can foresee, unless of course Red Bull has a seat after Webber, but maybe Red Bull after Vettel would be like Benetton after Schumi.

Di Resta hasn't shown anything this season to make me think he's destined for a Ferrari seat. If it wasn't for the commentators he's matey with talking him up I don't think we'd even notice him.
x2.He's not outperformed the car he's in and certainly isn't upto a seat in Ferrari, yet.

x3 exactly. And Massa's performance has been very good all season and improving all along.NISaxoVTR said:

Sadly, I'm inclined to agree. It seems he started off with a bit of a flurry but now he's become neither better nor worse than many of the other mid-field drivers. Certainly not exceptional to warrant a Ferrari seat.Obviously those with the analysis and stats may see something different.

Gutierrrez was so far off the pace last week. He's going to have to dramatically improve, money or no money, I can't see him being allowed in that car

x3 exactly. And Massa's performance has been very good all season and improving all along.The boy is good, but I don't think that he is as good as those with a vested interest, including him, seem to say he is. I'm thinking that with the right team and car he could easily be a Massa, but never a Hamilton.
Willing to be proved wrong as it's always good to see a brit at the pointy end of things but I'm yet to be convinced that he is a WDC in waiting.
And now DiResta is b

I significant factor in the Sauber's points in the WCC is the poor performance of Kobi and the inconsistancy of both drivers.

This /\Despite that, he could prove more than useful with more time.

"There is progression, and the way this team is structured and going forward, I am content where I am."
Every time I see him being interviewed he goes on about how he could be more successful with a better team and that all he does with Force India is to try and get a few points for the team. He says he's happy to do that until he gets a drive with a better team.Can you imagine Sergio or Kamui saying something like that?
Good drivers aren't happy to get the occasional point, they're out to win.
Paul Di Resta might have connections in the right places but he's never going to be anything more than a mediocre racing driver, he's just there to make up the numbers.
Agree with the comments on Diresta, I think everyone WANTED him to be good, and he hasn't shown any extraordinary talent thus far. Tbh I rate the hulk as the better of the two and would put him at ferrari after massa calls it a day. And if I was him I would have jumped ship too especially with all of force india's financial problems! I rekcon they will have to sell off a major share.
Pretty sure Kimi has been linked to ferrari (again) this season and would like to see him there again.
