The main issue at is money and how much a driver can bring to a team. Everyone is in need of cash and they are willing to prioritize the economic cost of talent. Sky commentator and former driver, Martin Brundle, suggests through his Twitter account that he believes that Petrov will occupy a place in the team Caterham (ex Team Lotus), but the team has already announced its drivers for 2012. Others believe that the Russian driver can make a deal with Marussia Virgin Racing, but the team has already signed Timo Glock and Charles Pic.
Rubens Barrichello showed great potential with Williams F1, but now he is waiting for news from the English team. Jerome D'Ambrosio told the German press that is hard to be a Belgian with the poor sponsorship of his country. It is said that some team may break his contract with one of its drivers in order to have Adrian Sutil.
When many of the teams confirmed their drivers, it began the game of musical chairs. For example, when Lotus Renault GP announced their drivers Romain Grosjean and Kimi Raikkonen, Toro Rosso announced that they would not count Alguersuari Buemi for 2012, and the announcement of Force India, when they announced that Sutil was out of the team, things started to get interesting for small teams that need talent and cash.
To make a commitment betting everything for a young driver with cash in the bank and no experience in F1 is one thing, but being able to gain the services of Sutil, Hulkenberg, Buemi, Alguersuari, D'Ambrosio, Senna and Petrov begins to have a lot of sense. The big question is, does it make sense to brake a contract with Jarno Trulli, Rubens Barrichello and Felipe Massa? Where to stop? Michael Schumacher? Mark Webber? there are too many good drivers, young people with cash to bear even older drivers?
