[Dare]

No word as yet on Sergio?Might be something to
why Mclaren didn't sign him last year.

Sergio's Mexican sponsors are hardly likely to give up his seat to anyone else with the return of the Mexican GP next year.

It's just how much FIF1 have priced the seat at I guess. I'm sure both sides will be mindful of other seats still available so I'd say it's a shoo-in that Perez will continue.

No surprise that Hulkenberg has been retained.  I think that Perez will stay too.  He has done a good job overall, especially in the second half of the season.  Who else could they sign who would be better?  Vergne?  Possibly, but I doubt that he could bring much in the way of sponsorship.

Maybe their waiting to see what happens to Button?

I don't think that Force India could pay Button the retainer he would want or need.

Button is more than likely richer than all get go and just
might take a big pay cut to remain in F1..............then
probably nor,just a thought

Sadly I have to agree with Irisado, Dare, but not for the reason he states - I'm on your side about Jens being willing to drive just for race bonuses in a reasonable car.

However I don't think Jens can't match the big money sponsors that Perez has in tow, for me it would have been the Hulk's seat that Jens could take, now with Nico signed there is no seat for a top driver with little sponsorship at FIF1.

A smart team wouldn't ask someone like Jenson to bring sponsorship...a smart team would use him to lure sponsorship.

What is with this trend to force the drivers to put the stickers on the cars anyhow?  What does the commercial director do these days?
