"Lotus reserve driver Davide Valsecchi, who lost out to Heikki Kovalainen in the race to replace Kimi Raikkonen for the final two races of the season, tells BBC Radio 5 live that he was "really disappointed" to miss out.
"It's a big loss," he said. "It was the chance of my life, I was really close to having it. It might have been the only two races in my Formula 1 career - and I was focused. I missed the chance, they took Kovalainen, and we have to accept the decision of the team.
"We still have two races to go, I'm focused on my job. I'd love to have the chance to show my quality. I was a [GP2] champion last year, this year isn't working well for me. But life is strange and can change so quickly." (via BBC)
Lol ^
FP1 is delayed because of fog, which is bad news for Kvyat, Kovalainen and Rossi who need track time.
By the way guys, do you think Perez still has the backing of Telmex/ Slim? Would a big company like that want to take a driver back under their wing after being ditched by one of the best teams on the grid for a complete rookie?

Like the idea of a fixed setup with FZR!
Strange, you seem to think you know everything.

It was widely documented by most news outlets that if the Quantum deal worked out Hulkenburg would get the drive, if not PDVSA would buy the 35%. Lotus was Nico, Quantum want Nico, it's very difficult to see Nico not being at Lotus next season.

Must be thinking of someone else then
Yep. Richie Stanaway broke his back a season or two ago from running over a curb. Doesn't tend to look as painful or damaging as it usually is.
Massa is only going to Williams with $6m, I would think PDVSA have forked out a lot of money to break their contract and buy their way up the grid rather than paying $30m to invest in a car that's languishing outside the points.
Almost certain Maldonado has been bought out of a bidding war for the Lotus seat by Quantum, but he will have a drive next season for sure. There are plenty of teams out there on the grid struggling financially, Force India or Sauber are likely destinations for the Venezuelan. But so glad to see Hulkenberg finally get the drive he deserves, just hope Lotus will be successful without Alison in 2014. Also great to see Williams using their brains and going with Bottas for another season.
Who's heard about Alonso being readmitted to hospital after leaving Abu Dhabi?

Adam Wiœniewski and Niki Đaković join Team Vires
25th October 2013.
Best known for his single seater prowess, Adam Wiœniewski is a fine addition to the Vires squad as he seeks active competition in the GTR leagues Live for Speed has to offer. The former spdoRacing driver from Poland is somebody I have known for a very long time, spanning back to when I started LFS so I am thrilled to have him in the team!
Completing the double signing is Niki Đaković who has been on trial with Vires for a few months now and has raced under the Vires flag in both the LX Challenge and the 16h event. He may have his critics, but the former GT2 World Series champion has joined Vires with a different philosophy and we hope it will be the perfect environment for him to grow. Although a number of you have already congratulated Niki in this thread, I don't want to break tradition!
Welcome to both!

Interesting yet predictable reaction from you Dave. Are you trying to insult my intelligence? Sorry, what do you do for a living again?
