So speculation time.

Aot of drivers with no seats at the moment.

Massa, Hulkunberg, Di Riesta, Sutil, Perez to name a few!

Personally I dont think we will see Di Riesta next year. He is pretty uninspiring. I also feel Massa will be at Williams. Hulk back to Force India with Sutil? I actually think Hulk might be going to McLaren!
Whats the altitude?

I don't think McLaren is going to drop Perez just yet
They have been in a slump this year, and it isnt even down to the drivers
Im pretty sure theyre willing to give him another year. Continuity is a big thing

Since Massa is being lobbied by Bernie himself, I'm pretty sure we'll see him next year as well. Hasn't he been linked to Sauber in rumors already? (the ferrari connection mm)
Hülkenberg getting the shortest stick again might end up with him in Force India again, probably alongside Sutil
Di Resta has been underwhelming indeed this year and he doesn't have as many sponsors behind him as Sutil does afaik
Then again they might be dropping both and taking on Hulk and a new kid?

Could be anything at this point

Apparently the deal Lotus have been working on is about to go through and they say that Hulkenberg is the first choice so he may still have hope. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/24799211

I imagine that Force India are an option for Maldonado as I would think Sauber and Williams are, Sutil seemed to imply that he has a race contract sorted for next year without saying which team. Magnussen would be a real wildcard for Williams.

The last 2-3 seasons were the worst in history. FIA and RedBull destroyed this "sport". I can't think of a more boring "sport" right now. At least everyone knows Alonso is by far the best Driver in the field.

It seems like most people think Formula 1 is all about winning.

In which case why do they ever watch it? You know that only 4 or 5 teams have a chance to win a race, even an outside chance.
That means that over half the field is driving around for no reason and might as well not be there. They are just moving roadblocks.
Since more than half the field is just moving roadblocks, the entire "sport" is always dull and boring because really it's not that competitive at all.

They should just cut it down to like 5 teams and have 3 drivers or so per team rather than this dumb 22 car setup where only 8~10 at most can even have a chance to win.
Been the same way for years and it's dumb and boring.

OR

How about there's 22 cars in a race, and there's some tough competition between all the drivers who aren't Vettel for places and points in each race and in the championship.
If you're only watching to see who wins outright, you're doing it wrong.

The current F1 isn't as boring as it was during the era of complete Schumacher dominance. Of course, RB are owning everyone, but behind them, there are at least three teams on the same level. And there are very inspiring drivers like Hülkenberg. For me, Hülkenberg is the driver of the year. (especially the second half of his season was very nice.)

As long as Newey stays at RB, Vettel will continue to wreck the competition. He's a fantastic driver in an almost perfect car.
Maybe it will get interesting again, once he decides to go to Mercedes or Ferrari.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

ill differ on this because i would say he only really had two dominating years, and the majority of the races were much closer than the ridiculous gaps vettel and his rbr pull out in modern f1.

I thought I heard that Sirotkin is going to be a reserve driver on the basis that he's the definition of a paid driver?

Think that's nonsense, he's a racing driver and a world champion it was simply a first corner accident and nothing more.

Or he was scared that he wouldn't be able to do a Grosjean, and rather than looking like the bad driver he is and being unable to make his way to the front of the field from the back of the grid, he just gave up so that people wouldn't keep comparing him to Grosjean.
