    Haha, if you didn't know that the season was over you could definitely tell from the slow news week!

    Yeah, executioner would be more appropriate than the innocuous sounding "advisor" that they always use.

    The Caterham link appears to be the most likely at the moment then. I'd be pretty happy with that really. No current Red Bull driver deserves to lose him seat, and Trulli has massively underperformed compared to Kovalainen this season, so if anyone has to give up a seat, I'd prefer it to be him.

    Equally though, Marko made comments about not just wanting drivers, but wanting top drivers, so maybe he is thinking of ditching both current Toro Rosso drivers, as they haven't shown themselves to be world class, and giving Vergne and Ricciardo a chance? That'd be very, very harsh, but plausible.

    They said this a few weeks ago that it will probably be a seat share with Kubica

    plus everything Lopez has been saying about having given some drivers a chance and them not delivering, almost like he's talking about Senna

    lol, I will be glad if that's the case. I'd prefer Bruno over Grojean

    I'd say Petrov's chance of retaining his seat is getting less and less likely. Grosjean v Senna it looks like now. I didn't think much of him at first but I'd prefer Mr "People-keep-thinking-I'm-Swiss"

    So potential candidates for remaining seats:
    Renault:
    Petrov/Grosjean/Senna
    Force India:
    Sutil/Di Resta/Hulkenberg
    STR:
    Alguersuari/Buemi/Ricciardo/Vergne
    Williams:
    Barrichello/Sutil/Ricciardo
    HRT:
    Liuzzi/Vergne/Clos
