      <description><![CDATA[Feb.17 (GMM)  As the F1 world looks set to race on without him, Jaime Alguersuari has decried a sport whose seats are now sold to the highest bidder.

Accepting that his hopes of returning in 2013 are dashed, the former Toro Rosso driver revealed that he had talks with a team this year that ultimately decided to sign a different driver.

      <description><![CDATA[Feb.11 (GMM)  The world of F1 is &quot;obviously&quot; moving on without Kamui Kobayashi, according to experienced Japanese journalist Kunio Shibata.

Kobayashi, who according to 1980 world champion Alan Jones was Japan's best ever F1 driver, lost his Sauber race seat for 2013.

      <description><![CDATA[

Talking about F1 - Pay driver. Few other terms inspire as much ire in the average F1 fan. It seems little else causes such disgusted self-reflection, such frenzied moral wrestling about the sport they follow.

And it's easy to see why. The concept of buying an opportunity at an F1 drive, of money brought by the candidate being the chief discriminator in the team's driver selection ... <a class="more" href="http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/the-curious-case-of-the-f1-pay-driver/">Keep reading</a>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Feb.4 (GMM)  Four drivers appear to be prominently in the running for the last race seat on the 2013 grid.

Strangely in the ultra-professional world of F1, Force India launched and debuted its new car, the VJM06, at Silverstone on Saturday with only one race driver under contract -- Paul di Resta.

      <description><![CDATA[Jan.24 (GMM)  Reports that Kamui Kobayashi would be unveiled as Pirelli's new F1 test driver on Wednesday were wide of the mark.

The Italian marque's Paul Hembery said in Milan that, so long as the contract to supply tyres to F1 teams is extended beyond 2013, Jaime Alguersuari and Lucas di Grassi will almost certainly keep their jobs this year.
