Kovalainen rejoins Caterham
Kovalainen rejoins Caterham | F1 News | Apr 2013 | Crash.Net
Interesting news. I suspect that Caterham realized quickly that they need an experienced driver to help with car development. Who knows, maybe they might be even grooming Heiki to take a car seat on weekends again.

after today's results, Heikki is sorely needed. Pic finished 17th, van de Garde 21st. What may happen, in the not-to-distant, is that Kova will be brought back as lead and either Pic or V d Garde will be retained as the #2. Or, Rossi, provided he places a top 5 finish in GP2, will be made the new #2.
Defend mediocrity... because excelence is just too hard to achieve. :p

From today it looks like Pic is the one who needs to be retained, he did pretty well. Only 10s behind a Torro Rosso, ahead of the hapless Gutierrez and comfortably ahead of the Marussias.

Keep in mind though that Pic had the updates and VdG didn't, so it wasn't exactly a fair comparison.

VdG also lost a lap after collecting a spinning Vergne on Lap 1 so didnt really show much during the race.
Except for Caterham again releasing him into the Marussia's path.
Pic done a great job and showed his potential from last year as Bianchi has. Those two may have futures.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

"Kovalainen rejoins Caterham" Well, that's surprising
These cars were going nowhere,fast. Getting rid of them was crucial for the survival of the championship. Group Bs were amazing cars, too. But, having fatal or life threatening accidents at every...
