    They’re also bringing in rockets on the fronts of the cars, ejector seats, oil release and drawing pin release capabilities for 2016. And if they drive over a magic mushroom, they’ll turn into tanks!

        He might end up at Sauber yet, but I doubt it.

          He'll be a lucky boy if he gets a drive next year, thought his attitude was pretty poor up until the back end of the season when he was less chippy, probably as he realised a seat was not a guarantee.

          Sauber haven't announced any drivers yet have they? Wonder if Sutil might be in with a chance for a drive with them

            Sutil is so bog standard, I like to think of him as the Stewart Downing of F1. Gutierrez must be down for a Sauber seat because he brings Mexicash with him.

            Bring back Karl Wendlinger! And HH Frentzen!

              Gutierrez is a very good shout, Sutil I find a bit of a character, probably because he's a bit of a ****** but agreed he's pretty average as a driver.

                  I guess that means a Wendlinger comeback is out of the question

                      Ok, my driver rankings for 2013 are as follows

                      1 - Vettel - First time I've thought of him as the number one but his form was machine like. Dubious morals aside, the lad has it all.

                      2 - Grosjean - Talk about redemption. Its noteable that his results picked up when Raikkonen decided to leave and he was given priority, but he is a totally different driver to last year. Just shows patience with a young driver sometimes does pay off.

                      3 - Hulkenberg - Established himself as the next best driver outside the top lot. He's so much better than Force India. Shame Ferrari are taking the soft option.

                      4 - Alonso - Seemed to get bogged down with the Ferrari lack of performance and drawn into sniping. Shame. No doubt the car is nowhere near the level that deserves Nando. He's turning into Steven Gerrard.

                      5 - Webber - Shame he's going. Bowed out with dignity in a horrendously difficult season for him. Vettel should hang his head in shame after Malaysia.

                      6 - Raikkonen - Just because his early season form was so good when he wasn't getting paid. I don't like him, don't get the reverence and think he had his chance with the big boys already, so why are Ferrari trying again. He's a dick.

                      7 - Hamilton - For a first season in a new team, he did ok, but the questions are there with him now. Is he an elite level talent (Alonso) or an inconsistent maverick who is unbeatable on his day (Montoya). My opinion is the latter - he's too easily distracted.

                      8 - Rosberg - Won more times than Lewis and raised his game. Bit average with flashes of brilliance. Not unlike his teammate.

                      9 - Ricciardo - Got the Red Bull drive. Might be alright. Thats it really.

                      10 - Max Chilton - Absolutely ****ing **** and slow, but he finished every race in a rookie season. Its the only record that Seb Vet will NEVER get

                      **** of the Year
                      Maldonado - It says it all about F1 at the moment that this dunghead gets a top, competitive drive after the way he behaved at Williams. Complete and utter tool with limited ability and loads of cash.

                            Christophe Gernignon-Lecomte, director of the Meribel resort, told Radio Monte Carlo Sport: "He was shocked, a little shaken but conscious.
                            "It may be a head injury but it is not very serious."
                            He added: "He was wearing a helmet and banged [his head] against a rock."
