2012-13 Silly Season

[sportingcp]

Alguersuari is the troll of the year in F1. He guaranteed that would have a seat in 2013 (already a long time ago), he´s always saying something like big news coming soon and things like that and then nothing happens. I´d like to see Jaime back in 2013 but i´m starting to have some doubts.

Alguersuari will be at Force India, I believe.

If you want to win, get a finn

Happy for Bottas, hope he can score valuable points for Williams. Never been a fan of Bruno really.

Too be honest, Even if it would be a dream to have Kimi and Heikki together in Lotus, i don't believe MTV:s (the finnish channel) local support will be judging this choice of Grosjean or Kovy. I think its 75% safe to say Grosjean will stay with Lotus.

AMuS saying Maldonado signed a 5-year contract, and he'll bring EUR 185 million to the team

How is that possible?

[Edi96]

Maldonado had signed this contract in 2010, accordingly there are 3 seasons left.

[phil1993]

I thought it was about £30m a season for 5 years, which seems to tie up with AMuS's figure.

[majidasadi]

it's a really good thing to see young drivers like Bottas having a chance to demonstrate their talents,but we shouldn't expect him to do sth magical in his first season,he is a rookie after all,in the first races he may struggle a little bit then in the final races he may eat Maldonado!

He's got a quite misterious message in his official page: "follow me soon". I do wonder what does that mean or if it means something at all.

Max Chilton is glad that Pic moved to Caterham...

He probably started a carrer as a DJ
