    My two favorite underrated hero's this season have to be the Hulk and Bottas then Ricciard and the rookies Magnusson and Kyviat(sp). The fact that Force India and Williams are looking how they look is really impressing me. My only concern is when they get into the tighter tracks, their top speed might hot help. I find myself rooting for Hulk and Bottas every race and I think the tables would've turned if it wasn't for Maldonado's suicide run.

    I was a fan of Bottas last year already.

    I don't think Hulkenberg is underrated by anyone. He's highly rated in the paddock, just struggles for a good drive IMO. I would not be surprised to see him paired with Vettel at Ferrari ~2016 (depending what next year looks like, if it's a title winning car I can see Kimi staying, Alonso too if he doesn't leave this year).

    Kvyat has been a pleasant surprise. He made a big jump from GP3 to F1 and has adjusted incredibly quickly. I hope he doesn't suffer the same as Hulkenberg that he doesn't get a quick drive.

    Only so many seats available of course, part of the game.

    Kobayashi f'ed up that first race, true, but he's been doing incredibly in the Caterham given what a ****box that car is.

    Kimi was hired when it looked like Fred would leave. So it makes sense.

    That said when Fred goes to McLaren LdM must hire the Hulk.

    If I was the Hulk I'd be happy where I am now especially in front of the ferraris every race

    Kobayashi had brake failure at the Aussie GP, so nothing he could have done. Actually, he had a great start in that race. Agree that he has been driving well this year so far, but then, I thought he drove very well in 2012.

    Koby was one of the bravest guys around. Only one dared to pull some good overtaking moves pre DRS.

    Strong rumours have been that his management asked for way too much money and lost the deal because of that.

    Hulk wtlnted big money but how does not l dm didn' t want anothe r schumi in his empire . Ldm likes Ferrari running second or third he can tell people he has giving them the tools they need and have no one on the team take his spotlight just look at how he was this weekend you would have thought he was a king and he not happy with there sacrifice on the battlefield . But fifth he going to have command post overrun
