Where did you read that about hamiltons dad and gf? I think he'd do a bit more than just fall out!!!
DiResta will take 1 more season at Force India, until Schumacher develops the Mercedes and Paul will move to them with Rosberg. DiRestas results in DTM will have pretty much guaranteed him a future mercedes drive. |

I honestly can't subscribe to the "Hamilton is being picked up" theory. ALG did exactly the same to Trulli and got penalised in exactly the same way. I will admit there are inconsistencies in the penalties, but no more or less so for one particular Driver. Hamilton just gets more "bad luck" because he puts himself in those positions (rightly or wrongly is another story...). In my eyes he's become an impetuous little kid recently and he needs a hand on his shoulder to guide him the right way and i can't help but think it doesn't help that he now has a team mate who can challenge him (like when Alonso was at Mclaren, the British media version of those events are very different to the actual events) and he isn't "the hottest talent in F1" now.
Having briefly spent time working with both Hamilton and Alonso, neither are guys I'd rush back to see. That said all successful drivers are usually B*stards due to the focus and ruthless streak that makes them successful in the first place!
Did hear there was a big falling out between Hamilton Jnr and Snr, but didn't hear about any garage scuffles, despite being in the paddock at the time.
+1 for Paul Di Resta though. Good talent, just needs to nail down his F1 racecraft (no denying his tintop talent). |

Compltely agree!!
McLaren has always been the place where British drivers end up, despite the best efforts of Ferarri, Red Bull etc... |

Only Recently, before the Hamilton/Button partnership they had Kovalainen, Alonso, Raikonnen, Montoya, De la Rosa, Wurz and Hakkinen. Taking into account Coulthard left to go to Red bull, you'd have to go back to 1995 when Nigel Mansell drove for them for a British driver to end up there despite the efforts of others, although I think that says more about the quality of British drivers available rather than Mclarens selection policy!
It's going to take Schumacher or Webber to retire before any meaningful seat comes up for Di Resta, as that would free up him to move to Merc or Hamilton into RBR. That also takes into account that Merc don't keep banging the German Drum and promote Hulkenburg (another great talent) into a race seat. |

| My bet is Hamilton to take Webbers seat at RB if and when he retires, maybe after next season, and Di Resta to fill Hamiltons seat at McLaren. |

you seem to be forgetting that if/when Webber leaves they have the seats from the Toro Rosso drivers, and the Reb Bull sponsored HRT racer to backfill his position.
Hamilton will not ever go to red bull as much as he would like to, he wouldn't fit in there at all.
Rosberg will be at Mercedes until he starts getting results, DiRest WILL be his team mate I'd put money on that.
Kimi to Williams, and most likely Perez(dont know why) to Ferrari, remember Kubica is meant to be returning and I can't see Renault shifting either of their current drivers for him, due to the amount of money they both take in. |

Alguersauri or Buemi in an RBR race seat? No chance surely? Buemi is Awful (imo) and ALG is average at best (good money maker through repsol though). Ricciardo possibly but it'd be a huge gamble for them, they'd need to see him in a slightly more competitive car.
Hamilton won't fit in anywhere other than Mclaren, its the downside of being a bit of a dick!
I'll be interesting to see how Kubica goes and what the contract clauses are (I'd assume they go something along the lines of "if you go and get yourself crocked when not in our car, you can f*ck off"). With a year out you'd assume he'd be a bit rusty and so which top team would want him?
I think it will stay pretty much as is for next year, with only Kubica messing things about from Renault downwards. Kimi to Williams is a credible rumour, although I find the thought of a moody and notoriously difficult ex world champion going to a team well passed it's best hilarious! |

Kimi is awesome, love him, he reminds me of Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder.
I think Hamilton would move to DTM, I think he would be brilliant in that, or BTCC. |
