Hulkenberg really needs to get a better manager. His move to Sauber this year was him chasing results to attract a drive to a major team (past performance is no guarentee of future success) but the early Sauber turning out to be a Turkey did him more harm than good. Then with 2 major drives up for grabs he fails to land either of them, and now jumps ship back into his old drive.

His manager should have at least landed one of those drives, or told him to stay put at FI and not to chase tales in going to Sauber. I feel that if he stayed at FI he would have been sitting in a Ferrari by now.


His managers are the same guys that can't get a Formula BMW, Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 3.5 champion to a decent seat.

That's quite a track record already.

being a good driver with a poor manager is like entering Le Mans 24 with a Porsche 914

so, its 'official' now we will have 19 races...

19 is like the stupidest number it can be. I'd rather prefer 18 then...

20 would be perfect.

when it is an even number you can really put 'the middle' of the season into it. When there are 18 races you have the first 9, half season, and then the 2nd half. And when there are 20 it is even better (25%-50%-75%). 16 races like have long been in the past had also this nice thing.

I have this 'number thing' I guess, after all, my occupation is budget, reporting and the beautiful world of excel... :D

Doesn't make much sense to me.

I don't want to many races, as there should be a sense of occasion at a Formula 1 race. But 19 is pretty much perfect for me. 22-23 is too many.

I still believe that is possible to do a Fittipaldi flip with a DeltaWing at monza

and Bernie obsession to make New Jersey is something similar to Barrichello willing to return to F1

I loved that Pacific car. As a kid I generally cheered on all the backmarker teams. Simtek, Lola, Minardi, Dallara... Happy days.

Honestly it wasn't a bad car. They may have had the worst luck of any team in a single year in the history of Formula 1 though.
