Sutil , purely for the experience but I am sure I read that there may be worries about travel because of his conviction .

I don't believe that to be an issue otherwise the team would not be testing him..

Sutil for experience. Bianchi for the short term, and some cash and/or Ferrari engines next season. Karthikeyan just for cash.
hmmmm.........
It's not easy.

Bianchi. One of the strongest junior category CVs of drivers not in F1, discounted Ferrari engines for next year and someone who isn't cancer for sponsorship.

jules, he's damn quick, he delivers, his blonde moments are relatively infrequent, and he's a good racer too. his racing brain is pretty much second to none.

Jules - he's shown in the junior categories that he has the racecraft and the drive. I think the new blood deserves the chance here, given that FI have di Resta with a couple of year's experience - if their other driver was a rookie, I might choose the other way.

I don't disagree with that at all!
But the question is "If you were on the board..." and I think 2014 and engines/drivetrain must be a factor in all this?
That might be be red herring though....

looking at it if i was on the board? well, i'd be privy to a lot more information than i am now - for example, the commercial offers from both ferrari and mercedes, the amount of work that changing the engine supplier (and technology provider, whatever that means) entails, exactly how big a factor money is in all this and exactly how critical wallet girth is in all this.
without all that knowledge i can only assume it's purely down to driver factors. it's not as if we know who has the best commercial offering on the table

Neither of those. I'd go for Kamui Kobayashi because he's pretty quick and coming on quite well.

Sutil. People forget he had a blinder of a season in 2011. He pushed that car real, real hard!

I remember the season. I just don't remember it being outstanding?

would i have the guts to make the hard call? Sutil is good but a known quantity. if he does well would anyone notice?
its a risk but with the rookie you have a chance to confound expectations and if it works then thats a lot of positive attention for the team which could use it.
if he comes with a cheap engine deal then the risk becomes more manageable.
