I've read it somewhere, can't remember exactly where. But given that McL will have Honda engines fits the linking with Fernando.

As for the other, there was too much of bad blood from both sides to now call the possible reunion "logical". Unless both sides have matured in a way and decided to leave that all behind. But let's just sit and wait, nothing is impossible.

Seems like Marcus Ericsson will move to Sauber 2015

Looking increasingly likely that Vergne will be retained, isn't it? The most telling part probably is the way Sainz Jr. desperately keeps trying to attract attention.

Also, according to this interview, Grosjean actually has a Lotus contract for 2015, but with an option to walk out if a better opportunity arises.

That'll be game over for Sutil. Sauber need Gutierrez's money as it should pay them quite well with the proposed Mexican GP next year. Can't see Ericsson being a lot better though. He's been very disappointing at Caterham.

Don't write Marcus off yet. He was vocal about improving the braking on the CT05 - Caterham did so and he improved massively.

Felipe Nasr will race for Sauber next year, I expected Van der garde, but Felipe is really fast and consistent driver, really happy for him.

according to brazilian press, it is a two year deal.
money comes basically from Banco do Brasil, a +51% state bank.

According to Spanish newspaper AS, Alonso's deal with Mclaren-Honda will be the largest in the history of Formula 1 and presented as a multi-year agreement.
