Re: Hulk to Lotus now unlikely.
Maybe Maldonado will get banned for another of his recklessly idiotic and dangerous moves next season and Di Resta can jump into the Lotus
Hulk deserves better though, one of the top 5 drivers on the grid IMO.

I used to feel that way but he's just too good to ignore. He'll thrash Ricciardo just as he has Webber, but I think he'll have to move teams to convince some people.

He should swap with Hulk at Sauber, if Mallya really is so damn keen on Sutil.

They'll stick with him for another year, but he will have to deliver. Admittedly, relative to JB he is, but I think Mclaren are looking for him to do more than just match Button, so if he doesn't start beating him regularly next season expect a change for 2015.
