Since the season 2012 is now officially ended, I think it would be best to start new one for the coming season (lock the old one or just leave it alone). Teams: Races:
Heikki and Kimi at Lotus would be wicked! Kamui should get a spot. Force India would be perfect! It will be officially over tomorrow then i guess. Last day to appeal! Does anybody know when is award ceremony? couldnt find any dates. Really looking forward to Kimi's speech if he turns up!
It would be nice. I think Kamui has a chance but I honestly do not know about what real chances Heikki has. He's a really solid driver, had a bit bad luck on McLaren (was really fast in qualifying) but I'm sure he would be better choice than Crashjean.
Worth noting: HRT is confirmed to be pulling out of 2013, so they shouldn't be in the team list. We're looking at a 22 car grid next year. Qualifying rounds are expected to go -7 in Q1, -7 in Q2, and then the top 10 in Q3. Also, last I heard, Bernie was looking at getting a French GP going to replace what was New Jersey's spot on the calendar between Monaco and Montreal.
Nothing is 100% certain yet. I don't think they have officially confirmed anything about HRT situation.
Now it seems as though there will not be a French GP next season... http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/288110/french-grand-prix-ruled-out-for-2013/
Bernie has been thinking about bringing back Turkish GP..as for HRT, not a big loss really @Anarion Yea i would rather have heikki or kamui over grosjean. Funny thing is that his sponsors ego( Total) is drive safe

For the new spot on the calendar (Euro GP), most people seem to think it will come down to either Magny-Cours or Istanbul. Looks more like Istanbul. Some rumors are also saying the Red Bull Ring (A1 Ring).
When would that GP happen then? June if it takes Valencia's GP? Would be great if its Magny-Cours, ill defo go then!
German GP moved earlier for extra race in 2013 http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/12/05/german-gp-moved-earlier-20th-race-2013/ Options so far seem to be: Istanbul Park for the Turkish Grand Prix. Paul Ricard and Magny-Cours have also been trying to return to the calendar as the host of the French Grand Prix. Red Bull have also mooted the possibility of holding a race in Austria at the Red Bull Ring (formerly the A1 Ring).
Austin are also trying to have their GP date altered because it coincides with some major football game that already draws huge crowds. Don't really know what they could do, though.

Yup their PR team is working great! Somehow they havent pissed off Kimi yet so they must be doing it right! Hopefully they can improve car a little bit more for the next season!
