Who will drive for Lotus in 2014?

[Marbot]

I'd put a small wager on the incredible 'Hulk', but that Lotus really needs to be green because you wouldn't like...........you know the rest.

Yes, definitely the Hulk to Lotus......or maybe not. Let's face it, we're all just guessing at this point. Unless, of course, you know a friend of a friend who knows...you know the rest.

Well, next season might be a lottery, who knows what team will come on top with the changes...

I don't get this Massa isn't quick anymore rubbish. He's already proved that towards the end of last season and quite regularly this season until Fernando put the kybosh on it!!!

He's got a fair bit to prove to people (apparently) and if he gets a sniff of a half decent car I think he's still got serious race winning potential.

I have a feeling we have seen the best of Massa when he became world champion for a split seconds... Having said that, he could well find extra pace (and comfort) by being driver n1 in another team like Lotus. A very interesting prospect at the end. Pairing with Hulk could make that team very fiery too! (even if Boullier will never let go of his favored Grosjean...)

You would think if you could get Massa and Smedley as a package with anyone else that may come from Ferrari you would be able to learn an awful lot very quickly from their experience if you were Lotus!
