Lotus has confirmed that Pastor Maldonado will partner Romain Grosjean next year. Sorry, Hulk.

Is there any rumors or hints for Hulk out there at all?

Hulk and Perez will be driving for Force India, and Sauber could merge with Marussia.

I await the moment that Lotus finishes 1-2...

...in crashed corners, that is.

And I was really starting to like the Lotus team too. I was actually feeling a bit torn between following Kimi back to Ferrari as a fan, or sticking it out with the little bit of an underdog that Lotus was. Now my mind is made up for me. All in with Kimi now....not that I wouldn't have cheered for Kimi anyway

That's exactly right... Pretty sad that money is keeping talent from where it belongs- in a good car.

Lotus needs the financial backing. Hopefully this means the team stays alive long enough to get 2 great drivers again.

I hate this. I don't see how anyone can be a fan of Maldonado after the temper tantrum her threw over the final several races at Williams. Will make it hard to pull for Lotus as a constructor, but I'll still follow Romain.

Appropriate picture is super approriate. Hate that Maldonado got the seat but if his 40 million Euro saves the team...

Sad that F1 has to "hire" drivers based on their finance package, but that is where we are in racing. All other levels of motor sport are dependant on funding, why would F1 be immune?
