F1 2013 - Teams and Drivers - Who goes where?!

Poor Pedro, 1 day of real-car testing in Jerez, then locked away in the dark, dark Ferrari simulator for the rest of his life to be fed only the tears of Felipe

BMW have confirmed that Timo Glock will race for them this year in DTM.

Kubica has been doing some DTM testing with Mercedes too, he's been pretty positive about it, says it's a definite possibility.

Edit: Kubica video + interview below

Unconfirmed reports that Razia has signed for Marussia.

Yea jsut seen something about that, can't find any confirmation though... Well not in English anyway

Skeeter · 31 Jan 2013 at 16:08

Would be good if he did. It would be a failing of the system if neither the winner or runner up of GP2 got an F1 race seat.

Guerrilla · 31 Jan 2013 at 16:11

Valsecchi is in at Lotus in a test role if I rememeber right... Just as well for him as the regining GP2 champ isn't allowed to stay in GP2.

2 Rookies seems a little risky though, would have honestly thought whoever didn't get the Caterham drive out of Senna and Petrov would have gotten it.

Sponsorship money mean more than experience at that end of the grid, unfortunately.

Or just having a rich dad, as Chiltons old man has taken up a share of the Marussia team.

Giedo van der Garde confirmed at Caterham alongside Pic.

Guerrilla · 1 Feb 2013 at 15:20

Going to be a fair few rookies on the grid

And by "on the grid" we mean "in the wall". Though if one or two should happen to fill Vettel's sidepods, I shan't be too upset.

I think that Caterham have dropped the ball by not keeping Heikki tbh.

I'd like to have seen him alongside Kimi.

Hammys new helmet

Pretty boring IMO.

MissChief · 2 Feb 2013 at 01:36

I quite like that actually.

Notice he's still doing little or nothing at all with his right arm more nearly TWO YEARS after his accident. He won't race in F1 again.

Except the GP2 grid has been a joke since 2008 (that might change this season with the addition of drivers like Evans). The reverse grid system was also responsible for some of Razia's\Valsecchi's best finishes.

Duke · 6 Feb 2013 at 08:33

Luiz Razia gets the second seat at Marussia.

Malt_Vinegar · 6 Feb 2013 at 11:25

Fully up to date now, just mising some reserve drivers, but will get them completed asap, testing should get them all noted, just FI to worry about. Anyone aware of the current rumours for the seat?
