Comment of the day
Adrian Sutil's chances of getting the second Force India seat seem to be improving but a lot of readers seem to prefer Jules Bianchi for the drive:
I'm surprised that Sutil is still in the running for the seat. He must have done well in his year away from the sport to secure enough backing to keep him in contention this long. I assume that Bianchi hasn't gotten the drive yet because Force India is seeking Ferrari engines cheaper than Ferrari are willing to supply, merely for the sake of Bianchi.
I'm still hoping Bianchi will get the second seat, because I find it more interesting to see what he can do compared to round two of Sutil ' DiResta. However, with the trouble Mallya and Sahara find themselves in currently, I will settle for any Force India presence on the grid this and coming seasons.
