Maybe he didn't want to jump into a new team for two races and get made to look like a mug against Grosjean who is quick and experienced with the team. He was only offered the drive for this season.
Yet, if you can look past the half a sentence of Sam Bird loving, there's a decent wrap up of the current driver market. If the Lotus deal goes bad, then Maldonado goes there, or maybe Perez - they both have money. The other will get a ride somewhere - Force India, or maybe Sauber.
There does seem to be a number of permutations that leave Hulkenberg out of the picture, which would be a shame.

You will however lose if you're not prepared to put the effort in and / or you're not financially savvy enough to interpret the data and advice that you research. Don't forget that your investments don't take a holiday when you do.
There are many diversified funds you can put the money into for a managed investment. There are fees on those (say 1.5%pa for the fund itself and then 1.5%pa on the funds that it invests into), but they are professionally managed.
If you think you can consistently get to within 3%pa of the professional diversified funds and you can spend the time then go for it. Otherwise, consider professional management.

This is a part of F1 that doesn't often appear in other forms of single seater motorport as they are usually spec series:

Just as Princess Leia said that "the more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers", then the more regulation there is in F1, the more ingenious innovations appear.

Interesting. Might have just been set follow them by his management company to promote a bit of internet chatter (so that worked!) and perhaps give Lotus / Sauber a little nudge.
When did Massa start following Williams? Is he following anybody else?
Hope he gets a seat next year. Whether Williams will be any good is a big question. Mind you, big change in regulations could shake things up initially.

Yes, that's why I said the end of next year.
So they don't drive during practice or qualifying? Mug.
Women have legs, arms and eyes so of course they can race.
However, my mind is always drawn back to the 1992 F1 Season Review video, which when introducing the drivers showed a clip of Giovanna Amati touching up her lipstick in the cockpit. Of course, that probably says more about the editor of the review although to be fair they didn't get much footage of her driving that year.

They obviously liked what they saw in the Young Driver Test, but Vergne will be gone by the end of next year so presumably that will promote Sainz Jr. That would be a very inexperienced line up and I wonder if it might have been better to put Da Costa in now and then put Kvyat in the following year after a season in GP2. Da Costa hasn't had a stellar year, but form is temporary.

Same sort of thing, but on the run from a cross...
And he was 15 at the time. Watch out for him in a year or two.
I would not say "sadly". Part of the human condition (it is certainly part of mine) is that deadlines are a great motivation to complete. "It's done when it's done" didn't do Duke Nukem any good, did it?
I doubt that the dev team would rush out any old rubbish safe in the knowledge that they could hoover up 3-5,000 S3 payments in a weekend. I think they have too much pride in their project for that.
Good news (for us) that the money is drying up!
It's not really about labelling bikers as one thing and Range Rover drivers as another. It's the pack mentality multiplying their idiocy. Could have easily been a group of teenagers picking on a family in a street.
As for no helmets, that's not the brightest thing to make a stand on for the principle of freedom, but it's more kidneys and livers for the rest of us.

Other way around.
In 2010, Webber got the upper hand on Vettel when the diffuser was blown, but there was no "cold" blowing. Then Renault changed their engine maps (after Vettel was taken to the cleaners in Monaco) and cold blowing neutralised his advantage letting Vettel marginally back in front. In three consecutive races near the end of the season Vettel was pole and Webber was 2nd but the total difference in their qualifying times was about a tenth of a second. Remember, it was still difficult to overtake in 2010. That's where the title went, not in the wall in Korea.
These days, the tyres are bigger factor. They suit Vettel's style more than Webber's. If we still had Bridgestones it could have been two titles each by now.
I haven't seen the video, but sounds like one driver was driving like they don't pay for it. I guess that is what they were counting on - you thinking "I can't afford to pay for this" and backing out.
No; the point I make there is that Kimi is well liked because he does things off track that make seem likeable. When you like someone or something you develop a natural bias so the perception of reality is that Kimi is some kind of super hero driver when he's actually Nick Heidfeld.
Kimi will get blown away if he joins Alonso at Ferrari. Falling off boats drunk may be sufficient to make everyone apparently love him, but it doesn't make the car go quicker and if I had to pick a driver that Kimi was most similar to then it would be Nick Heidfeld, albeit Kimi's a smidgen faster.
Sounds like a great day out. Did you manage to liberate any unofficial souvenirs?

I might be free tomorrow. What's the minimum I need to do to sign up, just in case?
Agree 100%. I recall Martin Brundle running wide at turn 4 in 1996 and ripping all 4 wheels off the car because there was quite a rough / ploughed gravel trap. That might be going a smidge too far and it's not too good for the show to have cars beached in gravel traps - these days that would probably cause a safety car. However, it should not be the case that you can gain time by leaving the track.
Grass is good - can't generally go faster on grass. Would leave cars needing a ticket to get back into the track if it's raining but hey-ho, can't have everything.
Vettel would not mind Kimi at Red Bull as Kimi is not that fast; people subliminally take a few tenths off his lap time because he falls over when he's drunk and says funny things on the radio.
