Autosport/F1 Racing [both Haymarket publications] under the impression that Magnussen will be given the nod at McLaren.

Don´t let Alonso read that... :lol:

(just kidding... i know the difference between Bot and Ham)

Fair play lol! To build on my point, they are silly to keep Button. For me, he has no drive. There is no desire to win again, he knows he isn't good enough to win anything again unless he gets lucky. Why dont they have him help Magnussen and Perez? Why not step back from the car and take an advisory role? He just isn't good enough anymore. Regardless of how I rate him, he is wasting a seat. I reckon Perez has been better than Button over the year, and I believe the points dont show the true picture.

I'm excited by it. Bottas is very good and I reckon Massa could do well with no longer being the #2.

Massa's problem is he is nowhere in the races. He has lost all of his craft and pace. He sacrifices sunday to get ahead of Alonso, he's said his set-up is saturday-aimed last weekend. He's a waste of time on the grid. He said he wasn't going to buy a seat, well he's gone to the team which only has Caterham/Marussia behind them lol.

I reckon we'll see a new Massa next year. Driving outside Alonso's shadow will boost his confidence and who knows, with the rumours about the Renault and Ferrari engines, he might give Fernando a couple of problems on track.

He is inconsistent but he's worth a shot.

Well he cant be worse than Maldanado. Maldanado to Sauber then, Sirtokin deal looks to have fell through. $30million from PDVSA, god knows how much from Mexico for Guttierrez. Good move for Sauber though, $30million will be a good amount for them.

Worrying for Hulkenberg though isn't it. If lotus folds, where do they go? Force India might not take him back in principle of ditching them for their midfield rival who beat them. Theyve done well enough without Hulkenberg.
