Where did you read that Jos the Boss?

Hmmmm... interesting...! Funny if both the old Toyota drivers fall by the same sword.

That's interesting news and I think it'll be true Bild don't get an awful lot of stuff wrong. So from what I can go on I think Glock won't be in F1 this season.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I've seen that the BILD is the NOTW of Germany so don't believe anything!

 

[Jos the Boss]

Breaking: Timo Glock has reportedly left Marussia & is heading to DTM. The team cannot afford to keep him according to reports.#TWF1

 

[rufus_mcdufus]

Judging by tweets from respected journalists it's looking true that Glock may be out of Marussia. A separate tweet claims Buemi has important news very soon...

A separate tweet claims Buemi has important news very soon...

He just re-signed for Red Bull as a third driver and for Toyota in Le Mans.

Also, I would not touch that or the Caterham seat, anyone with money the following season will replace no matter what your performances are like.

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

Alguersuari will sign for Caterham I reckon, with Petrov going to Marussia from what I can put together .

So, it's going to be a pay-driver. Senna, Karthikeyan or Petrov. Petrov makes sense, for Russian team.

 

[Brogan]

Petrov has to be favourite, assuming he has some decent backing.

 

[Kamui-FastestChefInTheWorld]

Well, at least they're honest about wanting money...

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

With Glock leaving does that make it only 4 Germans on the grid now?

 

[Slyboogy]

Won't it be three?

Hulkenberg, Roberg and Vettel?

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

Your correct .

ATM:

3 Germans
3 Brits - poss 4
3 French
2 Finnish
2 Mexican
2 Australian
1 Brazilian
1 Spaniard
1 Venezuelan

 

[Mezzer]

Could Kobayashi come back into the mix? Has he signed up for anything else?

 

[mjo]

But does he have financial backing though? I think that either Senna or Petrov will replace Glock.

 

[Kamui-FastestChefInTheWorld]

I'll always like Timo, without him, Kamui would never have had a drive...

 

[The Pits]

Kamui has some backing from his online support group, they raised a modest (by F1 standards at least) amount to keep Kamui in F1, not sure it will be enough though.
