Paffet will never race a McLaren, unless one of the 2 incumbants gets hurt. He's a solid tester, and i think he'd be a half decent mid pack racer, but not McLaren driver quality. Di Resta and Hulk and even Sutil will be the pick of Merc backed drivers, for the Merc works team or maybe McLaren. I see Force India as a junior team to both at the moment
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

contrary to what I said earlier, a german friend of mine told me that Di Resta's name wasnt on Mercedes' 2011 DTM drivers list.....(I'm guessing on the german version of the mercedes website, because it just lists mercs' 2010 drivers in the english version)
Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

Sad that Hulkenberg can only get a test role.
We need a 13th team so he and Nick Heidfeld can be on the grid!" Lady - I'm in an awful dilemma.
Moe - Yeah, I never cared much for these foreign cars either."

Excellent. Di Resta deserves this chance, now we can see what he's made of.

Nice line-up. The main thing I'm struggling to understand, is that why did Force India commit to Liuzzi for so long. When they hired him in 2008, they basically signed a 4-year-deal immediately (two as a tester, two as a racer). Did Mallya really believe in him so much that he thought he would be worth such a long-term bet? In any case, by now it has backfired.

I think Luizzi deserved a second shot and perhaps VM thought he'd develop further into a more consistent driver. But really he's done very little of note at FI...not that any of this has been confirmed yet!
