I don't know Sutil's contractual situation, but in any case the feeling chez McLaren is that it's better to get the car sorted before they start messing around with what is a harmonious driver relationship. Sorry to anyone who was thirsting for Heikki's sacrifice, but I don't think it's going to happen.
I agree with that - McLaren have bigger issues than their driver line-up to resolve at the moment. And they already know that there's a risk of upsetting their star driver by bringing in the "wrong" sort of team-mate.

I'm also confused by the Glock/Sutil to McLaren story, just based on not being entirely sure what either has done to justify it. Glock has been anonymous for the past few races, and I don't quite see what a few others seem to see in Sutil - he's good on a wet track, but for he's not exactly blowing Fisichella away. I remain mystified by the Sutil fan club.
