Di Resta is a perfect replacement for Hamilton at Mclaren because he has history with the team as test driver and winner of Young Driver award like Button.... also managed by Button's management and they know his abilities
Also being contracted to Mercedes might soften any deal Mclaren may get out of Merc on the engines front...I'd certainly haggle a few million off for taking on Di Resta if I was Mclaren
------------------
Someone mentioned Heikki...well he's been touted as possibly for the front running teams and considering he has usually led Caterham to be the best of the backmarkers is impressive. He blew away Trulli and sent him into retirement which I don't think it was expected given Jarno was suppose to be a 1 lap master
-----------------
Perez denied any talk with Mclaren ...I'm sure he might change his mind now MAssa may stay at Ferrari
-----------------------
Hulkenburg - dubbed the "Next big thing " when he first came onto the scene and I have to say he has started to show flashes of it
If Ron Dennis was the boss I would have said he would get the seat remember how he signed PRost, Senna, Hakkinen , and Raikkonen at first opportunity available
But with Whitmarsh less certain
but he will get a top seat possibly the Mercedes seat when Rosberg's contract runs out I feel in 2014 if they can;t land Hamilton or Vettel
