Same, he deserves a seat further up the grid at the very least.

I think Sauber would be a great option for him.

Jesus Christ that onboard video. It looks like his helmet was scraping the ground the entire way.
- At the end of the DTM season Coulthard officially ends his racing career. Haug held a very nice laudatio for him.
- German AMS has a nice 3D animation video up showing how RBR´s DDRS works. Even if You´re not familiar with the language, I recommend watching it, as its pretty much selfexplaining.

Why?
I don't think any team boss would put him in their competitive car after he flopped at McLaren. The guy is shite, does he even bring sponsorship millions with him? He'll be stuck in a shit car until he's forced out of F1 by someone who does.
yeah, it wasnt tho, well, not until he got a helmet full of grass that is, kudos goes to the cars safety design, it worked, the porsche driver on the other hand... wtf was he thinking

It´s great that someone has said this. He´s mediocre at best and for some reason people on GAF love him. He lucked out on a win once (Hungary when Massa exploded) but never done much else in his carrear.
There are better drivers out there to be driving good cars.
They're showing it working on Vettel's car because Webber's doesn't have it.
Also, Heikki isn't that good? I never paid close attention to him prior to Caterham/Lotus... but would you say he's better than Petrov? The two seem to be fairly evenly matched with the green team, but you can hardly use that as a benchmark.
Jesus. Pretty fucking blatant, there. I guess we know what Fucking Grosjean does between races!
Considering the qualifying results I'd consider Heikki a notch above Petrov. And I for one think he'd be quite good in filling the Barichello/Massa role.

Heikki is better than Petrov, but that's hardly something worth bragging about.
He's another guy like Jarno Trulli who believes in his own hype and thinks he's as good as he thinks he is(he's not, he's mediocre), but just like Trulli, he'll probably be phased out of Caterham and F1 completely.
He's had 8 years in this sport to prove himself, it's time to set aside and give younger drivers with future potential a chance.

Well he had rather nice debut season with Renault and he won the race of champions once. Mclaren years were pretty shitty though like you said (Didn't help that the team gave him heavier car for qualifying everytime but once compared to Hamilton...really don't know why).
8 years? Wow, I don't remember him before McLaren.
It's never a great sign if this is one of his career highlights. Heikki already showed he's not a WDC type of driver but he deserves to compete in a midfield team to see if he can compete at that level.

It sounded too good to be true for 2013 imo. To me, it was always a 2014 race from the news reports earlier this year.

Ugh. I'm really bummed about that. I was looking forward to the race. The track seems pretty good.

Same here. But on the other hand we´re about to approach thirty races a season...
I feel kinda bad for the drivers and the teams.
Can we swap Korea for NJ?
That's a shame, I was looking forward to it.
At least it'll still happen, hopefully.
Seriously?
The teams, yes, but the drivers? They've got shit easy.

Speaking of drivers. Gutierrez and Frijins will drive the Saubers during the Abu Dhabi young driver tests.
So if Guti moves up Frijins becomes the new test driver.

At least just postponed, not cancelled. I'll take any new races that are not on Tilke tracks.

Austin seems great.
Yeah, but that one is cheating, he just took the best bits from old tracks and stuck them together
Cannot wait to see 24 cars steaming up the hill at the start into that blind apex on T1. I wonder if that hill will mean that those with stronger engines/kers will gain an advantage.

Was looking forward to seeing a GP at New Jersey, guess we'll have to wait a little longer.
Would be great if we get Turkey back for next year, love that track.

Could've been worse. We could've wound up with the best bits of all the Tilke tracks... which still would've been worse than shit.Yeah, but that one is cheating, he just took the best bits from old tracks and stuck them together
:lol
Honestly the way Bernie plays the media it seems like it could still happen and this is a final warning to pay up soon.

If Pirelli ruins the first half of 2013 like it did this season, I'm going to be really pissed!

This is really great.
When Kimi got married, some drivers were asked to say some nice words. Of course it was Mark who had the best things to say.

I don't care if it's fun to drive. Singapore is fun to drive. Monaco is fun to drive. They both have shit races.
