I'm not sure i see that much potential in him anymore to be a better driver than, say, a liuzzi.

So even though he has a contract for next year, i would be replacing buemi with ricciardo, who seems ready for a berth.

With regards to lotus: if i was ricciardo's manager i would be hesitant to put him in a drive at lotus, as i dont see it as being much of a career move - fighting with other quality drivers 3 or 4 seconds off the pace. For example i dont think glock or heikki have raised their stock this season.
Some people don't agree with that as I have heard a number say Glock and Kovy both did really well considering the equuipment they had.
I think the equipment at STR needs to be better....one reason why I am not against customer cars.... and I think really that STR withouit major investment and a faster car technically could do much better.

RBR should be doing all it can to assist the two STR drivers, but the whole team seems flat.
