Nico Hulkenberg and Romain Grosjean will drive for Lotus in 2014.

We might soon be starting 'who will drive for Sauber in 2014?' and 'who will drive for Williams in2014?' threads as well!

i'm kind of bored of grosjean now, he's quick but let's face it, he's not going to win is he? then again, the alternatives aren't nearly as good...
(likely to be famous last words) |

Grosjean will be n1 by default but I expect the Hulk to give him a run for his money. Sooner rather than later, it will put Grosjean back in his nutcase shell and it will be interesting to see whether he can take the pressure this time around as it is one thing to be beaten by a world champion of Raikko's stature and quiet another to be outclassed by a rival of his generation like the Hulk who, in my view, has the potential to become world champion one day!

Two words: Nico Hulkenberg.
That leaves the room for Bianchi to move to Sauber and Magnussen to join Marussia. The silly season is actually not as silly as it seemed... |

The Hulk is yet unproven at the front, but has absolutely thrashed his midfield rivals in his 3 F1 seasons. Yes, this year has been disappointing, but nobody in the midpack will match his Monza weekend. Not even Vergne at Canada, or VDG at Spa (Q, despite tyre choice, was a perfect lap).

Grojean and Hulkenberg for the Lotus seats. Bianchi or possibly Massa to Sauber, and whoever brings in more £££ to Marussia.
Thing is this though, Renault (Still refuse to call them Lotus) couldn't keep hold of Kimi because of lack of promises about having a competitive car next season etc. So, are we now seeing the demise of Renault fully as they also lost James Allison to Ferrari. I think if Renault produce a midfield car next season they are going to be on the slippery slope downwards. |

Its actually Toleman isnt it? Just like MercedesGP is Tyrrell
It might be difficult for a pilot to consider them a credible choice when the serious rumours of not paying their driving talent keep coming up... Maybe it doesnt matter if they pay the team |

Could Sam Bird be in the running?? Some say he deserves to be in F1.

It appear that Massa and Hulkenberg are on the Lotus list, I cannot see many more realistic possibles.

The Hulk in the Ferrari would have been a great move but Lotus may prove good for his Career and Lotus.
