Re: Could you support a constructor if ...
I've not actively supported a single team since Jordan in the late '90s, so it's a difficult question to answer. It would probably depend on the circumstances. If I were a Fernando Alonso and Ferrari fan, for example, and they put a driver I disliked alongside him then I'd probably still support Fer...

Re: Hulkenburg to Ferrari?
He might be a little young, but he's probably less of a gamble than Massa was. Actually Hulkenbergs F1 curriculum is very similar to Massa's before he joined Ferrari. I would like this on the one hand. On the other hand, I do hope his talent would not go wasted next to Alonso, who seems to be a ver...

He obviously ha...

No surprise there, really. It's a shame we won't end up with Vettel/Raikkonen (or even Vettel/Alonso, as unlikely as that might've been) but it makes sense for Red Bull to recruit from within, as well as providing them with a seat in which to insert Antonio Felix da Costa. Better for the team harmon...

Re: Looks like F1 will have a pretty similar grid for 2014.
Well based on what Domenicali said in his recent interview with F1.com, it sounds like Massa will again be given plenty of time and opportunity to retain his seat. If he does, I wonder how hard Ferrari would then push for Sauber to deploy a Hulkenberg/Bianchi line-up next year. It would be perfect f...

He's not managed a feature race pole, or even qualified...

It's a fair statement. At the start of the season, I argued the only two driver pairings that could match Hamilton/Rosberg were Vettel/Webber and possibly Alonso/Massa. The latter relied heavily on Massa driving closer to how he finished out 2012, rather than reverting back to his early season form,...
