Bruno Senna

Sorry but Senna and Maldonado would be a horrible driver lineup for a team struggling to be competative.

Yea but the team does also struggle with money. If they can gather enough money from Senna this year then they can probably change the line up with two much better drivers. They are in a desperate situation meaning that the team will be forced to go with drivers that have a lot of money. (same thing happen last year with Hulkenberg)

 

[Péter Bártfai]

They struggle with money but they can only get a good main sponsor if they show some performance. Barrichello was also busy getting sponsors, he could have been a much better choice imo. I don't know how Sutil was with sponsors, another guy I could think of was Petrov as basically Russia sponsored him, though I'm not sure if it's still the case, especially knowing that Lada is planning to return to the WTCC. (which was a better marketing for them anyways, at least in those times I saw more and more Lada 110 appearing on streets, but I didn't see the newer models after they stopped that project)

 

[Adam Eggbeer]

Rubens brings experience and won't cause there to be another different variable in the team from last season. Senna has the money and has a number of fans. Sutil is the better of the three drivers at the moment. Hard choice really and it wasn't helped by the fact that all three are better than Maldonado.

Everyone thinks that!

You shouldn't speak for everyone, it is not correct. I do not think that and I am also part of the population, therefore your statement is wrong.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Everyone thinks that!

Not me. First i would like to see Barrichello take one more year. The guy deserves it.
But if that is out of the question obviously Sutil would be the best choice. I don´t hold Senna high to be honest.

 

[Eric Parker]

I am sure whatever they decide it will be the most boneheaded option available. They have excelled at making those in the past couple of years.

Was just a saying!, don't take it personally etc

One thing that works against Sutil is the fact that he may be refused entry into China due to the assault charges that he's facing.

That would be hilarious.

 

[Chris Jenkins]

It's highly likely.

[António da Cunha]

That might be a reason why Sutil is not getting a drive this season.

 

[Christian Burge]

williams decision may be coming down to money with senna having sponsorship of around 16 million

Rather at Germany I think...

 

[Chris Jenkins]

The trial's being in held in Germany. Suril's not allowed into China, which is where the fight took place.

 

[David Jundt]

And Lux submitted his case in Germany, which would make Sutil to face the penalty there... no?

 

[James Maskell]

No he won't be allowed into china because thats where it happened.

He'll still go to jail in Germany, because that's where the trial will be.

IF

 

[David Carter]

Well this daft incident Sutil had could jeopardize his whole F1 career but I sincerely hope not

 

[Chris Jenkins]

He'll still go to jail in Germany, because that's where the trial will be.

IF

Both are correct. Although its unlikely that he'll actually serve time in jail (suspended sentence and probation) it would be served in Germany, but as the crime was committed in China, he is unable to enter the country.

 

[David Jundt]

And IF he really gets sentenced, that would be two missed GPs. I don't think Williams would like to hire a Sakhon Yamamoto in the meantime...

Actually, he'd be in jail maybe. But as he lives in Switzerland, he could maybe "ignore" it...
