Surprising to see Grosjean replacing Petrov at Lotus. We have to see how he does. But it will be good to see Kubica back in F1. I think next year Torro Rosso will do better than Lotus.

Grosjean is a fantastic driver, winning the GP2 BUT I am just surprised that they didn't even have Pertrov as a 3rd Driver, atleast till half way through season and then see how Grosjean does untill Kubica comes in. I am sure someone will come in for Petrov, probaly Williams.

And Algersauri will probaly be staying at Torro Rosso (My 2nd team after Mclaren, as Algersauri is a. Born same day as me 6 years before and I was at his Renault championship winning race that won him the F1 contract a few years ago, and his autograph on the ticket still hangs above my head on my bed today)

Petrov is most likely going to HRT.

I think we will be more likely going to Williams or a bigger team as a 3rd Driver. He raced rather well for Renault-Lotus last year. I think Buemi miught be going to HRT though.

Caterham 20 - Heikki Kovalainen 21 - Jarno Trulli HRT 22 - Pedro de la Rosa 23 - ??? Marussia 24 - Timo Glock 25 - Charles Pic I'm VERY surprised to see Toro Rosso go with Vergne and Ricciardo. Vergne is a rookie, and I'm not sure if Ricciardo counts as one because he drove for half of last season.

I've seen Vergne live at two races(not F1) and he is a fantastic driver. Toro Rossos management said they are planning for the future for them and Red Bull, and 'changing drivers reguarly help each driver progress'. I see where they are coming from, but Jaime is one of my favourite drivers. Hopefully he will replace Mark Webber in the future, as Red Bull said it would be either Buemi, Vergne, Ricciardo or Algersauri to replace him.

Right now I'm predicting: - Sutil going to Williams, as is rumored. - Alguersuari going to HRT because of his Spanish nationality.
