Redketman Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Williams has signed Rubens Barrichello for next year, while Hulkenberg is going to leave the team. He would be delighted to continue driving for Williams, but they will sign someone else. Apparently Hulkenberg turned down a multi-year deal with the team, but he did not want to drive for HRT next year. (Btw. Pedro de la Rosa is rumoured to drive for them next year). I wonder what is going to happen with Hulkenberg now. Force India maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der_Don Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I wonder what is going to happen with Hulkenberg now. Force India maybe? Is either Sutil or Liuzzi about to leave the team? I just hope we can see Hülkenberg in F1 next season as he is a local hero here (he was born and raised about 30 kilometres from my hometown). I dont really care which team he'll drive for.

Redketman Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Apparenty, Liuzzi has a contract for next year but rumours are circulating that the team is not happy with his performance. He might has a contract for next year but it was probably written long time ago and things might have change since then. I do not think he has a future in F1 anyway. He has not really been fast and Adrian Sutil beats him almost everytime. Force India should sign a driver who has a bright future. Liuzzi is not really that bad, but he rarely does something great and spectacular and I do not think he has a brtight future in F1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redketman Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Apparently, Daniel Ricciardo has got the opportunity to drive during the Friday's Practice next season, since he is Toro Rosso's third driver now. Good choice. It is going to be interesting to see if he can beat Buemi and Alguersuari. Those guys have not really impressed me lately, although I think they can improve.

Kryten. Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Excellent news for the 21 year old Aussie. Was clearly the best in the test days after final GP, and could very well do enough to keep the pressure on Buemi and Alguesauri (close enough to correct spelling?) to maybe earn a drive if one of them isn't performing well towards the end of the season. Could be an excellent F1 driver if he gets the experience into him. Certainly one to look out for in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redketman Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I also think he has a bright future. He is probably going to have race seat during the 2012 season. If Mark Webber leaves Red Bull Racing for another team after 2011, I wonder who they are going to replace him with? Ricciardo, Buemi or Alguersuari? Anyway, Buemi and Alguersuari has not really impressed during either 2009 and 2010. They must be quicker next season. If not, Red Bull should focus more on Ricciardo if he performs well.

Redketman Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Now it is official that Maldonado will drive for Williams next season. It is not a big suprise really. At first I thought that Maldonado would be an excellent choice for Hispania, especially since I think Hulkenberg is a little bit better than him. But I guess Maldonado can drive well next season. He did win the GP2 series and he is of course a name for Formula 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Jazz Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Not particularly bothered at the moment, if it has a negative effect on the racing though I won't be too happy. Also, Webrar apparrently competed in the last four races with a broken shoulder. Sauce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Jazz Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I quite like it, not as good as the yellow and black livery they had this year but it's still pretty nice looking. They could do with getting rid of the red "TOTAL" bits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3niX Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Well... It seems that Team Lotus or the Lotus of Tony Fernandes is considering keeping the Green-Yellow livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodoro Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Well... It seems that Team Lotus or the Lotus of Tony Fernandes is considering keeping the Green-Yellow livery. This stuff is confusing. I won't understand what's going on half the time now. Couldn't Genii simply get another buyer ? This "new" team should be called Proton Renault rather than Lotus Renault. It's just ridiculous, with both running Renault engines too. One team called Lotus Renault GP and another Team Lotus Renault and both running the same livery. It's like a childish squabble.

Brown Sugar Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Petrov is staying at renault until 2012 and I don't like the rule changes taking place in 2013, although if it makes more exciting racing then I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Sugar Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 So Karthykien's back for the first time since 2005 at Hispania and Chandok's turned down a contract offer, apparently he's close to signing for a bigger team. What do you think about Karthykien's return, I never really thought he was a very good driver, although that was when he drove for Jordan when Schumacher and Alonso were battling for the championship.

Bernard Jazz Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm glad Karthikeyan is back in F1, I remember him driving for Jordan and being a bit of a nutter, he definitely pushed the car to its limit and if the Hispania car is any good this season then he will definitely be in the points. I'm hoping Kubica and Kobayashi do well this year, they're both brilliant drivers and they deserve to be in competitive teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacarla Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Kubica for sure. I think he should be put in Mercedes for a better season. Renault is good but he deserves a better car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Even as a McLaren fan, I'd like to see Mercedes get their car balance right this year so we see Schumacher back nearer his best. Would be great to see him take on the new generation on a more even keel. I see McLaren aren't releasing their MP4-26 til after the first test...does make me nervous. Ever since they broke out the flow-vis on the MP4-24 at the start of 2009 I've always been worried of what McLaren will get up to. I still reckon Horner, Newey, Vettel et al will have the advantage next season. Then again, Newey does occasionally produce a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sugar Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 when I found out about the black and gold livery coming back to F1 I was excited, but it looks horrible on the um... Renault, or Lotus, I can't remember what they're called. They revealed their new livery today, you can see pictures on the F1 site. It's pretty much the same as the one I posted earlier.

Brown Sugar Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Well it looks like Nick Heidfeld will be leaving F1, that's a real shame because he was a driver fr so long but never got a race win.
