The day before the young drivers’ test would be strange timing for Caterham to announce a new driver.

My guess is a new sponsor. It’ll be interesting to see if the sponsor is Dutch, or American…or Russian, or French…we shall see.

Look where Mike Gascoyne’s gone for the announcement:

Just arrived in Paris for huge Caterham announcement tomorrow morning.

Well, yes of course they are overhyping it (the only huge announcement they could make is that they are leaving the sport, but let’s hope it isn’t that :P). I guess they will confirm Kovalainen for 2013.

Charles Pic perhaps? Pic, van der Garde, Senna, and Kovalainen are all vying for the Caterham seats, but only two of them will win. Pic is French, well-financed, and has had strong performances against Glock. With Chilton tipped to become the umpteenth rookie teammate to Glock, will Caterham announce Pic as their first signee?

Charles Pic and a massive French sponsor for 2013 sounds likely. I doubt that they would all travel to France just to announce a French driver – there must be more to it.

It’ll be to announce a collaboration with Renault to create a brand-new Caterham sports car. I doubt there will be any driver-related announcements made there.
