Or they could be even smarter and try to go get hulkenberg. Ridiculous to have a talent like that twiddling his thumbs.
Hulkenberg will not go to a team that might drop him anytime for a bigger check, he already had that at WIlliams, who at least did wait for the end of the season.Quote:

Heidfeld. What a telling finish to his F1 career - in flames. But I have to admit that ever since 2007 (when he was having a really excellent season) he has never looked the same again for some reason by often suffering from qualifying troubles. In the last two years there were (perhaps at the time rightful) complaints that it's unfair that Heidfeld doesn't have a full-time drive. But by now he has shown that he genuinely isn't an attractive prospect any more... and perhaps not even as a substitute driver.
Senna... I have to say that already in GP2 he looked good in the wet, so the impressive qualifying effort doesn't come completely out of the blue. But remains to be seen, how consistent he can be across all sessions, conditions and tracks.
