Really?! Is there any gossip about Di Resta that I've missed?

[Laplace]

More likely to see the Hulk at Ferrari imho and if Massa isn't there I believe he won't be in F1 at all. He may have said as much himself iirc.

Red Bull: Vettel and Ricciardo
Ferrari: Alonso and Hulkenberg
Mercedes: Hamilton and Rosberg
Mclaren: Button and Perez
Lotus: Massa and Raikkonen
Force India: Sutil and Di Resta
Torro rosso: Vergne and new Red Bull kid
Williams: Maldonado and Bottas
Sauber: Gutierrez and Pay Driver
Caterham: Kovalainen and Rossi
Marussia: Bianchi and Chilton (I originally typed Gonzalez, then I thought of Chilton Snr's wallet.)

[Dermot O'Logical]

Red Bull: Vettel. Ricciardo
Ferrari: Alonso. Hulkenberg
Mercedes: Hamilton. Rosberg
Mclaren: Button. Perez
Lotus: Grosjean. Raikkonen
Force India: di Resta. Sutil
Torro rosso: Vergne. da Costa
Williams: Maldonado. Bottas
Sauber: Gutierrez. Bianchi
Caterham: Pic. A.N. Other
Marussia: Chilton. A.N. Other


I've put Bianchi at Sauber as he's a Ferrari development driver and although not ready to step up to the Scuderia, it would be a useful move up the grid, and Sauber could benefit from the financial offset against the new engine deal. Personally, I can't see the Sirotkin deal coming off, at least not for 2014.

Otherwise, it's all fairly static, with the significant moves being Ricciardo to Red Bull and Hulkenberg to Ferrari. I can't see van der Garde keeping his seat at Caterham, and Alex Rossi would be a contender for the drive. Sirotkin to Marussia might be a possibility.

It's all guesswork, though. What do I win if I'm right, by the way?

He was making noises about wanting to go there and i think he sacked Hamilton sr because he didn't get it, hes starting to prove himself in the force india too.
His moaning at the team might hurt his chances though, if they sacked prost for moaning im sure di resta would be let go over a grunt....


The prize for guessing right is 100 internet points and a pass that lets you be unpleasantly smug on the forums for a week....

Please forgive the spelling of some of those, I'm too lazy to look them up.

Much as I wish it were true, Tom Blomqvist isn't even sure he'll have Red Bull support or be in a Eurointernarional car next year...sadly Sam Bird has zero cash to bring to the table, even with Russian Time's enthusiasm and money.

Alonso news imminent..

Hmm, the week before Monza. He'd get lynched next weekend if the announcement was Red Bull for 2014
