A solid and consistent midfield driver. The problem with this is that in Formula 1, a driver that's about as good as the guy next to him is pretty much expendable, and this is what happened with Petrov after 2011 and then after 2012. I certainly don't think we have seen a proof Petrov's potential for a greatness yet. After all, the guy had spent three years in GP2 before getting into F1.
But speaking of which, I kind of wonder why Petrov didn't get a full time job in some other motorsport for 2013. Granted, Caterham took too long to make a decision for 2013. I remember that Petrov's manager said in 2012 that Petrov is kind of interested in rallying as an alternative once his F1 career is over.

I don't see how Perez ended up in McLaren and Kareful Kobayashi ended up without a drive. They seemed evenly matched over 2 seasons as teammates. Maybe McLaren just need a pay driver these days.
Speaking of pay drivers, that's what Petrov was. Apart from keeping Alonso behind him on a track that's impossible to overtake on and a lucky podium at Malaysia, what did he actually do?Tazio 14/3/2015: I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!
