2013 Formula One F1 Driver Line-up, Rumor Round-up & 2014 Silly Season Rumors - January 26th
By PaddockTalk.com Staff Writers
The 2013 Formula One F1 season start continues to countdown. There still four drivers seats that haven't been announced for the 2013 F1 season with 47 days until the 2013 Australian Grand Prix. However, those seats should fill up with announcements during Formula One F1 launch season which revs into top gear this week.
Rumors this week have primarily surrounded Bernie Ecclestone working at the pace of an 80-year old man to finalize the 2013 Formula One F1 schedule, more financial trouble for existing teams, and top managerial, technical talent shifting around.
The two most prominent seats continue to be the two Force India seats with Paul di Resta fully expected to return with the second seat appearing it will go to Jules Bianchi - maybe with a push from Ferrari, and engines for Force India.
Caterham has a seat to fill, though not much has been said lately. Bruno Senna is apparently waiting for that seat and a return to Formula One F1.
Marussia and Timo Glock have now officially split, which opened up the fourth seat on the grid.
Once the 2013 grid is filled out, the rumors will begin for 2014. And actually, they already have. Nico Hulkenberg has been mentioned for the second seat at Red Bull for 2014.
So let's get the 2014 silly season list updated so we can track the ruminations through the year.
