F1 back-markers who deserve a seat next season

Jules Bianchi – Marussia

Jules Bianchi, a Ferrari backed driver, has shown potential and has got a confirmed seat with Marussia for the 2014 season

Missing the bus to Charles Pic, the rookie Frenchman has already got a confirmation from Marussia for the 2014 season. A driver supported by Ferrari(being a driver from their Driving academy) was expected for a move to Sauber but with Marussia switching to Ferrari engine’s for 2014 made it clear he would retain his seat at the Banbury, UK based team. He has shown plenty of potential especially at the start of the season with his best finish of 13th at Malaysian GP even though he had 3 retirements to his name including the first lap mix-up with Geido van der Garde in Japan last weekend. He is another driver expected to move up the grid considering his abilities and also the fact that Ferrari support him considering him as a potential for their seat some years down the line.
