I am not sure what Hulkenberg has to do in order to get a top drive. He has shown plenty thus far. Hope he gets a chance.Quote:

sad that potential the 5 best drivers F1 has ever seen in a future year might all be left out because of weight.

The way I see it.
Maldonado has won one race. In which he was brilliant. He has scored some points but been erratic most of the time.
While Nico has not got the good results (wins and podiums), he has shown consistent speed and a cool head. Something Mr Maldonado hasn't IMO. I know which I would rather give a go.
Totally agree guys. @Dr-Alcatraz I couldn't have said it better myself. That was very sad to read...

I am actually happy that Maldonado finally gets a chance to with a decent team and with a decent teammate. One season like this will settle all doubts about Maldonado once and for all. He will either sink or swim, and there will be no possible excuses regarding a car that's too slow or the teammate that's too weak for him.
The way positions shuffle worked in the last few years, Hulkenberg had too much bad luck. Force India is not too bad team to join again. Stranger things have happened before. There will be surely a big shuffle of seats at the top teams again next year, so I hope Hulkenberg will get his chance then.
I agree with your reasoning, and I really think Rogro is the goods, but he is not exactly an established super-star. He has been in a very good car these last two seasons and is yet to win, although that is largely due to Vettel dominance. If he reverts to his poorer form Lotus could end up with a top car and a weak driving tandem. I really don't think that is going to happen, but if it does one thing is for sure; the crash structure of the Lotus challenger will be thoroughly tested. At least they should be solvent :uhoh: :spin:Quote:

Nico Rosberg has taken his time as well before getting more competitive cars.
I know we are wondering whether Vettel can get anywhere near Schumacher's records, but at this rate he will be racing only against paydrivers later in his career, making it too easy for him. But who will be there? I am seeing potential rivals getting left aside. I also see that Robin Frijns, who I have been rating very highly based on feeder series (one of the most talented upcoming drivers of the last quite a few years IMO), can't get funds together to continue racing career.
Well I think Seb will definitely get past The Shoe's pole positions record, he's probably only 3 or 4 seasons away from achieving that. He may be able to match the 7 WDC record, but not sure if he will get 8 or more. As for 91 wins, that is still a looooong way away and I think that is one record that may never be broken :)Quote:
