    Interestingly they'll still have to pay Petrov not to drive, similar to Kimi's own situation when he left Ferrari.

    Ah! Pity, I was hoping for JV to partner Kimi at Lotus. Then we could have 7 WDCs on the grid, and who knows... maybe someone could tempt Mika as well with an offer ;-)

    JV should buy a stake in HRT and race for them!
    It would be epic!

    Regarding the signing of Kimi I can't help but recall the Heidfeld situation. I wonder, how would Bouiller react if Kimi faces similar troubles in re-adjusting to F1, failing to get the best out of the car/outperforming team-mate convincingly/whatever. In any case, Bouiller was quick to criticize Heidfeld and sack him. But I guess they would be more understanding towards Kimi, who is more marketable due to his huge fanbase. And Lotus is perhaps actually prepared to wait and build the team around him, which they were not in Nick's case.

    Or the Mansell situation, or the Villeneuve situation...

    Odd choice.

    I may be wrong in 12 months time but Grosjean, Bruno & Petrov seem about the same drivers to me.

    I'd add Piquet to that list, too.

    I think Grosjean (and Hulkenberg for that matter) are a level above Petrov, Senna and Piquet in all honesty and have much more potential to go further in F1 IMO
    "I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.
