As speculation mounts over the 2014 Formula One grid, we find ourselves in one of most entertaining driver merry-go-rounds in town. One driver will miss the final two races of the season, so he needs replacing.

While motorsport’s pinnacle might not offer the dependable wheel-to-wheel excitement of touring cars, the bumper-bashing thrill of NASCAR or the competitive, level playing field of IndyCar, it trumps all before it in terms of glamour and prestige.

Lewis Hamilton‘s despairing evaluation of his disappointing Abu Dhabi Grand Prix said it all. “I’ve not been good enough,” was the overruling message of the Briton’s post-race address.
