    I'll bet Mr Massa will be driving for Lotus next year.... They will get him at a bargain.....

    He might even be able to show up his old team of red devils... Next year will be a roll of the

    dice for everyone... Whoever gets the engine right from the get go will have a giant

    advantage. There is already talk that MBZ's turbo power plant is putting out 100bhp than the

    rest of the teams...

    We shall see..

    Pot Stirred!!!!

    It seems more logical to me that he go to Sauber, or pehaps the struggling Williams.

    F1 press reporting Ross Brawn at Williams and they speculate Massa there. Hard to say where he will end up, if anywhere. Rather limited options out in the paddock.

    He will return to Sauber. Making way for Hulkenberg.

    Brawn at Williams makes sense. I said this a while back. I would prefer Brawn at the Scuderia though...

    POrsche should return to F1 as engine supplier. They certainly have a lot of experience in making turbo 6s.

    Brawn going to Williams makes about as much sense as a chocolate teapot. Toto just left there and half the staff of the rest of the field went to Benz. Brawn will retire from Benz after they've won a couple titles and either Bell or Lowe will take over.

    It makes sense if Bernie wants Brawn to get Williams in order as Brawn did for Ferrari and Honda/Merc.

    Williams? I highly doubt so. If i were Felipe, and Williams is my only option, i rather head to sportscars.

    Did you really start a thread titled with a statement meant to appear as fact completely unsupported by fact or evidence?

    Hulk will go to Lotus. Lotus can get him much, much cheaper than Felipe.

    Ferrari confirmed earlier today to Hulk to find somewhere else to go.

    Hulk and Massa to Lotus, get rid or lettuce. Would make for a great 2014! Hulk and Vettel to Ferrari in 2016 would be the next step, controversial as it might be both are the best moves for the the teams involved.

    Why would any team hire Massa? He's expensive. He's passed his prime. He doesn't give his best unless his job is publicly threatened...

    That's Felipe's opinion, but there is a long way to go before he's signed on with them.

    I hope not. RoGro is supremely talented. He just needs another year to mature.

    He will do fine from here on out... Doesn't have to get out of Zo's way anymore.... What are they going to do.. Fire him? Ha.. He will continue to out qualify Zo as well... Going to be interesting to see what happens tomorrow if they give him the "Fernando is faster than you" bit....
