Agree, would love to see Kubica return. Maybe him and di Resta for Force India?

Alonso to miss first testing session.

Fernando Alonso will not get behind the wheel of Ferrari’s 2013 car until the second pre-season test next month, it has been confirmed. Instead it will be team mate Felipe Massa who gives the Scuderia’s new machine its track debut at Jerez in Spain on February 5.

While Alonso focuses on his physical preparations for the new season, Massa will be behind the wheel for the first three days of the opening four-day session, with newly-signed test driver Pedro de la Rosa making his first appearance in red on the final day.

Alonso will experience his 2013 cockpit for the first time on February 19, when he starts three days of testing at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya, with Massa taking over the car for the final day. At the final test - again in Barcelona - on February 28-March 3, the Spaniard and the Brazilian will each get a further two days in the car.

Lotus launch 2013 car online.

Lotus are set to become the first Formula One team to reveal their 2013 car when they launch their Renault-powered E21 online next Monday, January 28.

Streaming live from their UK base in Enstone, the launch will be broadcast on Lotus's YouTube channel from 19:15 GMT. The event will also be showcased live on the Sky Sports News HD television channel in the UK.

The E21 will then make its track debut at the first pre-season test at the Spanish circuit of Jerez on February 5-8, with the team’s 2013 race drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean, in attendance.

All teams bar Marussia have now confirmed launch dates for their 2013 cars.
