What has happened (or maybe not happened would be better) to Sam Bird? Yes, I do know about the Renault series but as far as F1 is concerned he seems to have disappeared from the radar.

As have many promising young talents.
soccerman17, I get your point, but I don't think finishing 70-odd points down on Valsecchi in GP2 is a promising situation.

I'd say Paul Di Resta is all but confirmed in a Force India seat. The huge question mark is who will be his team-mate?
HammydiRestarules - Brutaly Kobaylinen.

Good, they're obviously stepping up with that driver.

I mean taken over by a Chinese company teabagyokel
HRT need to exist because otherwise it might be difficult to choose between Caterham and Marussia as to who is the worst team on the grid.

teabagyokel I agree, I still have no clue why that man isn't racing in F1. Or Luca Filippi. Complaints about no Italian drivers on the grid, so why not add one of these guys. Both incredible drivers, pretty clearly too.

Senna a goner. I doubt he will get a drive elsewhere. Interesting to see how Bottas goes.

Eddie Jordan was pretty sure Bruno had a contract with Caterham done and dusted so we might see him there.
and FINALLY with the Bottas!

I'm afraid to say that Bird was shown up somewhat in the Renault World Series by Frinjs and Bianchi and that might be why his name is less spoken about. Alexander Rossi who was also the next big thing did even worse in that series and his career is looking even bleaker.
Bianchi is an interesting one as he was the next big thing and had an awful year in GP2 in 2011. His season in the World Series this year did someway to repairing that but am surprised we're not hearing him talked about more where the Force India drive is concerned seeing as he had friday time and was their test driver this year. I guess we'll see.
