Good choice on Hülkenberg, SIOA7.
Sweating the potential penalty for Hulk though. Has it been decided yet?

From the start of the season Sauber have basically not been able to do pitstops properly. They have a new wheel gun design that keeps cross threading wheel nuts. For some reason this is unfixable.
