That would be tragic for the Williams fans. Who would go to Toyota except for Nakajima

I dunno, i think he's underrated myself. I'd rather have Barrichello though, if that were possible.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

I do think Compost, USF1, Manor, and Lotus are gonna need someone close to retirement to sort their cars out. Maybe even Torro Rosso if they are starting on there own

Well there's one thing I've got to say about the drivers market right now... it's too quiet!!!

I was expecting Alonso to make up his mind by now since the outcome of the Renault hearing, but instead it's just even quieter with no new rumours floating around. The only realistic rumour out there right now is the Hulk to take Crashajima's seat next year...

It can't stay quiet like this forever surely?

Well i've said it before and i'll say it again. The Alonso-Ferrari situation could really go either way.

I think as soon as we know where Kimi is going it will all fall into place quite fast

My predictions/guesses at this point in time -

Brawn - Button & Rosberg/Raikkonen
Red Bull - Vettel & Webber
Ferrari - Massa & Alonso
McLaren - Hamilton & Raikkonen/Rosberg
Renault - Kubica & Grosjean
Toyota - Glock & ? I wouldn't be surprised if it was Kovalainen, should McLaren sack him
Williams - Trulli/Barrichello & Hulkenberg
Force India - Sutil & Liuzzi
STR - Alguesuari & Buemi
Campos - DLR & ?
USF1 - ??
Lotus - ??
Manor - ??

Honestly couldn't predict anyone for any of the new teams really, save for DLR. I realise that there are certain drivers missing from my list too, most notably Heidfeld.

Do you think Bourdais can go to Renault now since Briatore is gone?

A wild guess would dictate that he'd most logically be at USF1 next season, if anyone actually cares about Bourdais any more...

I highly doubt that. If USF1 wants to attract American fans, i dont think putting a Frenchman in the car would help

You're not allowed to say that!

I think it could work out that way, I personally Barichello could bring somthing special to the pack
