Doesn't seem to be much changing next year, expecting a lot more change for 2013 though.
Soldato
He was as good as the other rookies really. Di Resta gets involved in his share of smash-ups, as does Petrov and Senna.
I still can't see why Renault kicked out Heidfeld when they were battling Mercedes for 4th spot. Petrov is still only 2 points ahead of Heidfeld despite the extra races he's had.

Movement in the top teams is quite clearly stagnant in the top teams till 2013 at the earliest. I think Raikkonen realises he's better off joining a midfield F1 team during 2012 and prove he's still got it, rather than doss about for another year and then hope for a drive in 2013 with a top team.
Rumours of his move to Williams haven't been going away.
Edit: Another source saying the deal has been done.

Anyone is better than old man Rubens lol
he might come back and have a season as bad as schumachers 2010 though and most big teams could instantly write him off
Don't see him being beaten by Maldonado..
But ok say if he were to have a bad season, what are you suggesting he should do instead?
Force India display in Delhi airport:
Quite telling?
Wow, FI are going to run Di Resta and Hulk in the 2009 car in 2012?
I wouldn't take it to seriously, when Alonso was at McLaren all the Santander advertising on the continent (especially in Spain) had Alonso and de la Rosa on it
It is probubly right though, if Hulk has sorted out some money then he's a good bet.
atleast get himself a multi year contract with a decent team.
a one year contract could kill his f1 career if he does need time to adjust
^ Exactly.
Much easier said than done. All the top teams are sorted for 2012.
Could be some shuffling in 2013, but by then he would have been out of the sport for 3 years. He'll be in a better position for a top 2013 seat if he proves his worth in 2012, even if it's in a midfield team, IMO.

I guarantee that if Kimi is coming back, and it is on a 1 year deal, its because he knows that come 2013 there could potentially be spare seats at Red Bull, Merc and Ferrari, and who knows what mid field teams could push their way forward?
How much he would want to go back to Ferrari I don't know, and Merc might be to corporate for him.
If I were him, I'd be eyeing up Mark Webbers seat

Yup pretty much. I'm guessing he just wants a year in to get a feel for it, show off what he can do and take it from there.
