I'm leaning towards test driver for Force India for van der Garde.
Requiescat in pace, Jules Bianchi

Van der Garde went to Addax in GP2
Ferrari tester Bianchi stays with ART next year in GP2
Ukraine has layed out plans to host an F1 race
Sauber duo have had their seat fittings
HRT have said they're in no rush to announce drivers: 5/6 drivers in the running, decision at the end of Jan

I thought Christmas was meant to be a quiet period!

Carabante (HRT owner): "We'll be on the grid the next year, at 100%"
"The car is being manufactured partly in Germany and partly in England, we're working on it for some time"
"We work with several suppliers and we assemble the car, we will be in the race in Bahrain"
"This year we are in winter testing ".
"Aim is to be behind Toro Rosso & Force India"

Wow, talk about aiming low. Being behind some other teams. They'll definitely be "behind" TR and FI, the question is how far. :O

Just been on the autosport website and found this!

I find it really shocking how they can change there mind like this. They gave collin chapman's hat to Lotus racing, to me that is along the lines of a wedding ring!

McLaren have launched their 2011 teamwear - its black & red, so perhaps a livery change?
