Made in Advance…

Will Merc choke even more? Will Riccardio the Ayetalian Aussie put his honeybadgers into tears with an either woeful or amazing performance? Will Raikkonen finally wake the fuck up from his vodka-Finnish induced hybernation?

The sad part is, he probably thinks he's still good enough for F1

Kobayashi is a Toyota guy so that's probably not going to happen. It'll probably be some sort of intense behind the scenes battle as to whether K-Mag or Vandoorne get the seat alongside Alonso and the loser gets assigned as reserve.

While we're making predictions I think Wehrlein will finally end up at Force India and Perez will go to the Renault thing. Everyone seems to think Grosjean will be at Haas and they've all but confirmed either JEV/GUT so it looks like Rossi is out of luck.

Related: AMuS says it's between Ocon and JEV at Renault.

I hope Ocon get's it. I like JEV, but Ocon deserves to be in F1

Lotterer confirmed for GOAT driver by the FIA's standards. And he' in the currently leading WEC car (season 2/3 over) so he's probably going to add to that even if he loses the 2013 results.

I fucked up 5/6 predictions but still moved up a place in the league, could have been worse

watching japan 2011 in preparation for this weekend, moving on from 2005 and skipping the years Vettel won. this bbc coverage is so on point compared to the Dafty-NBCSN dichotomy I am presented with these days

Gerard Lopez claims grosjean is not technically gone yet (as I have thought of before) as he is managed by Lopez. Additionally lotus does not need to make the Renault deal to survive.

I wonder how can Lotus make a profit out of allowing this man to drive. Sure he brings a lot of money but he wrecks this car every 2 races which must cost some money.

So Maldonado/Perez…. are they trying to be as unlikable as Sauber?
