On other 2014 rumours, these Maldonado to Lotus ones. Just what the. Hope there's nothing in it. Would be so sad to see a team that's been as successful as Lotus recently having to take on Maldonado. $$$
Although, we could have him and Grosjean in the same team.

Re: 2013 Formula One Discussion
Nope. My point is, Maldonado certainly has speed, he's shown that by beating his teammates regularly in qualifying. I think a move to Lotus might actually be good for him as he would have more pressure on him to be more mature and consistent in the races.mikhailv wrote:I dont know.

Re: 2013 Formula One Discussion
I never said he didn't have speed, but (as with Grosjean) speed is not enough.

Maldonado produces $$$, but he spends $$$ for each crash he has

It's not official until f1zone.net says it is!
Re: 2013 Formula One Discussion
Well, the press release hadn't arrived yet, but Sport Bild usually are very good!
Part of the fallout from the testgate scandal could be that Charlie Whiting is replaced by Giorgio Ascanelli (AMuS)

Re: 2013 Formula One Discussion
Hmmm, so rumours of an e-mail from Whiting to Brawn / Mercedes might be true?

Re: 2013 Formula One Discussion
Well Christian Horner has said it is still too early to judge either of the two STR drivers. So I'd assume then that he's saying neither of them will be picked for 2014 and will probably remain with STR for one further year.
Re: 2013 Formula One Discussion
If neither get picked, its completely pointless having STR. What more would Ricciardo learn for example at STR? He first came into F1 in 2011 for gods sake. This will be his 3rd year and Vergne's second. All we heard was 'buemi isn't ready' or 'speed is rubbish (true)' and all that.
I hate the fact that we have an entrant into Formula 1 which has no desire to progress forward, no desire to actually win and is purely there for its brother team to use to manipulate the sport and dump academy drivers over and over.
