maybe Kovi has lost the will to live after only being teamed up with world champions.

...Villenueve + Kovalainen at USF1?

[Jabberwocky]

I am sure USF1 can do better for themselves than that

Are you saying he might be suicidal?

I am a bit concerned that Lotus and USF1 have not announced there drivers yet... unless they are going to make it a surprise for when they unveil the car.

I do think that Trulli is going to Lotus. I think him and Mike Gascoyne seem to work well together.

Lotus news -

Lotus to reveal drivers on Monday

By Matt Beer Saturday, December 12th 2009, 08:57 GMT

The new Lotus Formula 1 team is to announce the identity of its 2010 drivers on Monday.

Team boss Tony Fernandes revealed via his Twitter feed that both cockpits had now been filled and that the announcement was imminent.

"Bringing home two drivers for the Lotus F1 team. Announcement Monday," Fernandes wrote.

AUTOSPORT understands that ex-Toyota driver Jarno Trulli is near certain for one Lotus seat. The Italian veteran has long been linked with the project having worked with Lotus technical boss Mike Gascoyne at Jordan, Renault and Toyota.

The second Lotus drive is believed to have come down to a choice between Heikki Kovalainen and Takuma Sato.

Former McLaren driver Kovalainen is on the market after losing his seat to world champion Jenson Button, while Sato has been working to break back into F1 in recent months having been on the sidelines since Super Aguri folded in early 2008. Sato tested for Toro Rosso last winter, but the team eventually chose to retain Sebastien Bourdais instead.

Malaysian Formula Renault 3.5 frontrunner Fairuz Fauzy could get a test and reserve role with Lotus, but early speculation that he would race for the team has been played down by Fernandes and Gascoyne.

Trulli + Kovalainen would equal good qualifying then going backwards in the race most of the time (ALL the time in Kovalainen's case apparently ).

According to reports of the 'Associated Press', Jarno Trulli has signed a three-year contract with the new 1Malaysia-backed Lotus F1 Team. The deal would be announced on Monday. The former Toyota driver has been linked with Lotus since the team decided to enter F1 in 2010.

maybe Kovi has lost the will to live after only being teamed up with world champions.

And being ditched.

Good to see that Crapajima isn't being linked anywhere with a drive.

I think the new teams will have to scrape the barrell so he is not out of the running yet
