    Sutil seems the more suitable.

    Shame would trade Guttierez for Da Costa, Frijns and Bianchi any day.

    I look into Esteban's eyes and I see somebody who is mentally weak for an F1 driver, like Grosjean attitude weak. Drivers are no longer being picked for their talent, but of how much money they could make out of getting them there in F1 and hyping the crap out of them for the part timer F1 fans.

    FFS even Esteban thinks he isn't ready for F1 lol...

    Hope Hulk wipes the floor with him and sends him back crying to Carlos Slim!

    So what do FI do for China, USA and Canada? Sutil will have trouble entering those countries with his criminal record. Do they put the reserve in the car for 3 races if he can't get visa's for them?

    They'll smuggle him under the floor of the motorhome along with the Cuban cigars and duty free.

    Max Chilton's old GP2team, Carlin, have announced their driver line-up in GP2 for 2013:

    http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/104786

    This significantly increases the chances that Chilton will be in F1.You could assume that Chilton has found a seat with a different team in GP2 but seeing as his father part owns Marrussia, Carlin has Marussia backing and the team have replaced Pic, I think it's more or less a guarantee that Chilton will be in F1 next year.

    Bianchi maybe? Good idea to get him some actual practice/qualifying/race time put together if he does enter F1.

    Sutil's manager reckons there will be no problems: "Dimi PAPADOPOULOS ‏@f1enigma
    Reports suggesting that Sutil might have problems traveling to certain countries are dismissed by his manager"

    I can understand the sympathy but I do not share it. He simply is not good enough.

    Maybe they have a media who actual try to report things diligently, and do some digging, unlike ours who just wait for a press release. Or it's just speculation from them too.

    Mercedes tried to get Horner to replace Haug, but H.Marko says he has already signed an extension for RBR last week.

    http://www.bild.de/sport/motorsport...ld.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

    Day 1 after Norbert Haug ! The Silver Arrows are looking after the resignation a motorsport boss successor.
    One candidate: the boss of Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull, the Englishman Christian Horner (39).
    The Mercedes-board, the name was discussed by BILD information. The chances are slim. Red Bull boss Helmut Marko told Bild: "Horner has extended his contract with us last week by several years. Because Mercedes is too late. "
    Possible that Haug's job is now divided: A race director in Stuttgart would take care of DTM and other series. A boss in England could oversee the Formula 1 factory.
    Schumi is not available: The manager has no interest in the job.



    Soon we will get word of Newey and Seb next if Horner has signed?
