Grosjean won't win it this year, he's still too inexperienced, but he is definately a prospect for the future.Lotus Enstone GP are my favourite team really, they always try to innovate, and although their upper management is atrocious, leading to their name changes every other season, they are a very talented team of engineers.

Perez is doing great considering how he used to get treated like crap as people thought he bought his way into the team. Kobayashi's always been pretty good, too.Still, if Grosjean really makes a push he could do really well this year. My current hope for a winner is either Webber, Alonso or Grosjean (I was thinking Rosberg or Räikkönen could make it but they're being inconsistent this season. If Räikkönen steps up to the challenge the next few races he could do very well).

I don't think Perez was ever that badly criticised, he's not a pay driver, he just brings a good chunk of sponsorship, and he was a part of Ferrari's young driver development program for a reason, which he is showing wonderfully this year. Sauber have the best driver combo IMO, and a good solid car as well.I don't see Grosjean being able to beat Kimi this year at all. Enstone have historically struggled with development in comparisson to the other teams around them (don't forget last year, at the start of the season, they had a car which was capable of achieving podiums, even in the hands of an average driver, but by the end of the year they were barely faster than the Caterhams) and while Raikkonen has in the past dragged the best out of poor cars, while Grosjean has not. Even if the car does remain up to standards, Raikkonen is as cool as they come, while I can see Grosjean buckling under the pressure of the new prospects that have been placed on him.Grosjean will have his chance, against Perez in a few years time.

That, I would like to see. I'm wondering if we could maybe throw Di Resta in there as a third candidate. He's had some pretty solid races this year, in a car that's not really as good as it was last year. But he's still scoring points, and doing a good job running in points positions for some races. No podiums yet, but he's still doing a very good job. Maybe he'll take Schumacher's Mercedes seat in a couple years' time.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
Kovalainen needs to go back to a decent team, he deserves to be able to race.
Personally, like a mainstream faggot, I'm backing Vettel, but secretly I'm backing the Japanese beast, AKA Kobayashi. The kid shows a lot of talent; he has a lot of heart for what he does, and he's actually getting some points as well. If he was given a better car, and a bit of experience, he could be battling it out with the likes of Hamilton, or Webber.Glock might be able to give the Caterham a few points, but I don't see it getting any more than 10. Anyway, he might surprise us; Glock's another one who I'm supporting from the sidelines.
Kovalainen's driving the Caterham. Glock's in the Marussia. But yeah, I think Kovalainen may score exactly 2 points this season, if he gets a decent amount of luck. But no more than that, the Caterham is clearly too slow to consistently contend for points. Marussia should do better than HRT, I reckon, but it all depends on position finishes.
Valencia, Silverstone, Hockenheim, Hungaroring...Sauber might do quite well in the next few races. We could see Kobayashi on the podium in one of them, I reckon. He was running second in Canada last year when the red flag came out, that's the thing I remember.
was digging through a box of old toys and found these battlebots ripoffs. the blue tazbot lookalike is chewed up and broken a bit since my dog thought it would be a good chew toy. i think the toy series was called robo battles.... anyone else have or remember these?(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
