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

~Mike~ · 11 Feb 2013 at 09:41

I wonder how many different Helmet designs Vettel will have this year?

King Damager · 11 Feb 2013 at 09:52

Quite a few of the drivers on same teams seem to have similar helmets....

Also, doesn't Vettel change his every time he wins? I thought I heard that somewhere..

So hopefully not very many xD

Nico and Lewis doesn't seem to be as much an issue as I thought telling them apart. One is clearly much more deeper yellow than the other.

They tend to have a lot of team sponsors on their too, which makes them look similar.

Vettel does change his helmet every time he wins. I think he auctions them off for charity.

Hamilton has black gloves too, although that may change when the season starts. T-bar colours are probably the best way to go.

Sutil has reportedly had a seat fitting at FI today, but he's not confirmed to be at the next test :confused:

Malt_Vinegar · 14 Feb 2013 at 15:02

This is all very annoying... I want to get the lineup completed!
FI - Pull your collective fingers out?!

Guerrilla · 14 Feb 2013 at 15:24

They are really dragging this decision out...

wallofsound · 14 Feb 2013 at 17:02

Indeed they are - can't believe they've left it this long

Sutil back?

Disgusting.

Flibster · 14 Feb 2013 at 19:08

Oh dear.... I suppose it will be interesting to see if he can get into the US or China.

They are a little uppity about letting people into the country with assault/GBH convictions.

Why is it disgusting? :confused:

Rather him than Narain.

I disapprove of sportsmen who commit GBH on rival team owners. I tend to think that F1 should be able to find twenty two drivers who aren't violent thugs.

What did he actually do?

Hit Eric Lux (one of the bosses of Genii) in the neck with a broken glass in a nightclub in China.

Eeek I didn't know it was anything like that

Changes my opinion of him somewhat.

Guerrilla · 15 Feb 2013 at 06:59

Yea it's pretty shocking. Even without taking that incident into account personally I'd rather Bianchi be given the opportunity.

FrankJH · 15 Feb 2013 at 07:59

These things are rarely 1 sided however they appear in the press.

(Im not saying he deserved to be glassed in the slightest, but being a team boss he should also be beyond reproach - which I suspect isnt the case)

So would I.

Seriously? He glassed someone and you're bringing "two sides to every argument" into this? :rolleyes:
