Regardless of how trustworthy they are, a couple of pit lane pundits have alluded to Perez being happy having Telmex bankroll his drive, he gets to live the playboy lifestyle and has relatively few media/sponsorship/ambassadorial responsibilities. In fairness, it does sound like a p sweet deal; turn up to a race weekend, have a chat with Carlos Slim, chuck your state of the art F1 car round the track for a couple of days and then party.

I can't say I'd turn that deal down. He's just one of the drivers that's been around for a long time, but never seems to leave much of an impression. Speaking of them, I legitimately never remember if Hulkenberg is still driving in F1 or not. I just looked, wow, Perez finished 7th and Hulk 10th. It's like they were never on TV or something!

I wouldn't rule out Hulkenberg yet. He would be a solid #2 driver and I think it would be relatively cheap to buy out his contract with Renault.

Nobody seems to want the hulk to drive for them, even after they raised the minimum weight to give heavier drivers a chance you never hear about people sniffing after him for a seat. He didnt even place in the autosport team bosses poll. (Ham came in first, ROS came in third)

Thats more like it. Pasta Maldonado was our Fisichella, judging by the one fluke win. (only he could never hope to have as stylish taste in sunglasses as Are Gianc)

I still don't understand how Kubica was allowed to race a rallying car considering the risks.

You definitely have this backwards. Everything we jokingly say about Lewis is actually true for Esteban, except he's extremely bad at driving.

It'd be hilarious if it was Gutierrez to take that seat after what he said to Lewis in Hungary:

"He should respect all of the competitors. You never know, maybe in the future I will be fighting for a championship with him, so he has to respect that."

Verstappen isn't going to Mercedes, he just signed a new deal with Red Bull and that would cost too much to release him (even if they allowed it)

Alonso probably isn't moving anywhere because the Honda people pay his salary and want to keep him

Button probably isn't because he's getting paid by Honda and seemed pretty chuffed with being out of F1

Vettel only could be if there's some archaic release clause that he triggered due to sucking, but even then, Mercedes may not want two guys of that type

Hulkenberg probably isn't either because the ink is barely dry on his Renault deal, but stranger things have happened

It's probably going to be Wehrlein, Bottas, or somebody else amenable.
