    It’s a king hurdle to climb, but if Caterham made it to 2015, who would they sign up?

    Whoever comes along with the most money.

    Me and @Bradley13? I’m sure we can have a whip round.

    Ooo, I like that idea @JamieFranklinF1! I’ve just found £6.43 in my wallet, along with a £10 Argos voucher and a Waterstones loyalty card :P

    @JamieFranklinF1 and @Bradley13 Can I be your race engineer? I’ve got a student loan that I’m not using for anything exciting we can spend on development?

    @Mathers @Bradley13 Looking good, guys! I’m getting into a more management role with Santander now, so I’ll persuade them to sponsor Caterham instead ;)

    They should go for the young Maldonados – Cecotto + Canamasas! They have the money to race for several seasons in GP2, despite the cars they destroy. And while Cecotto has become consistent I’m sure all it would take for the battle to start would be Canamasas running into him at the first race. They should be far behind everyone else so no one else should be at risk!

    If they can’t tie any type of partnership with an existing team (but both McLaren and Ferrari wouldn’t agree with the Renault engines, and Lotus are out of money) they would likely pick either a super-pay driver and a good driver with experience (Vergne?) or two pay-drivers. Stevens should be on top of that list as he raced in Abu Dhabi, but they could pick Merhi, rent a car to Red Bull for Gasly (like Ricciardo at HRT) if he doesn’t sign with DAMS in GP2, rush a promise like Ocon to F1 or take Sirotkin if he still has backing. I think Palmer and Rossi could buy the seat for at least some races, Chilton might be there keeping an eye on the availability too.

    If I can’t have the seat (!) then it should be Jolyon Palmer and Alexander Rossi.

    Would love for Rossi to bring Verizon in as a sponsor – another backer to snub McLaren!

    They may go for Esteban Gutierrez, he has quite a bit of money doesnt he?

    @ajcross Gutierrez said he has big plans for the long-term future, a test or reserve driver role is more likely at a bigger team for him, maybe at Lotus.
    I think Stevens would be surely one of their drivers the other might be Merhi.
