Driver market I think is just about sewn up now. Unless any shocking revelations come about again, like Button to McLaren.

But it seems Schuy will drive for Mercedes. Heidfeld will choose between Renault and Sauber. Grosjean will take a seat at Renault if Heidfeld doesn't take it. Whilst Fisi will take the seat at Sauber if Heidfeld doesn't. Kubica will stay put. Then we have Campos still making it's mind up on whether they should employ DeLa Rosa or not.

USF1 is becoming more and more unlikely everyday. Even if they get a car, it appears they have hardly any drivers to drive it. Honestly, what was all that stuff with Jose Maria Lopez. He's hardly someone you'd consider hiring as a driver.

It's mental. USF1 was the first project and for a while was pretty credible. Now though...There's nothing to suggest that team will ever turn a wheel.

Maybe they aren't getting employee's. I mean, most teams are based in europe, and they're still based in the US. Surely it's not easy getting ex-toyota workers overseas to work.

They also don't seem to have much backing. We've seen Manor and Lotus pull out some pretty impressive looking deals. Campos aren't doing too badly either I assume. Bruno surely brought some sponsors with him. But USF1, we seen a pictures at one point, but they've been too quiet. There was a deal apparently with Youtube, but we haven't seen anything from that either. They claim they'll be there for 2010, but there's not much to prove it.

I think Gazza has hand picked all the good guys from toyota for lotus

Yep. If he is left to run the team how he wants (which seems to be the case, unlike every other team he's been with), they could be seriously quick.

Driver market just about all sewn up then.

The only question remaining is where will Heidfeld go, Renault or Sauber, and lets be honest. He'll probably go to Sauber.

That leaves Renault. There is talk about Kubica swapping seats, but honestly where would he go. He'll stay at Renault. With Grosjean in the other seat. True the young french man didn't exactly set the world on fire in 2009, but give him a full season without Briatore arsing things about and things might be different.

Campos should hire DeLaRosa

Whilst USF1??? They claim they'll announce their drivers late january. But who are they going to hire at this stage

Maybe a seasoned veteran and true American?

Only five spots left. I'm going to predict the Renault seat going to Nick Heidfeld, the Sabuer seat going to Christian Klien, the Campos seat going to Pedro de la Rosa, and the two USF1 seats going to Jacques Villeneuve and Jose Maria Lopez.

Here are mine

1. Ferrari - Massa + Alonso
2. McLaren - Raikkonen + Hamilton
3. Renault - Kubica + Grosjean
4. Brawn - Rosberg + Button
5. Red Bull - Webber + Vettel
6. Toyota - not competing
7. Williams - Barrichello + Hulkenberg
8. Lotus - Glock + some random pay driver
9. Sauber - Heidfeld + Kovalainen
10. Manor - Petrov + some random pay driver
11. USGP - not competing
12. Campos - De la Rosa + Di Grassi
13. Force India - Sutil + Liuzzi
14. Toro Rosso - Algesuari + Buemi

thats wrong, raikkonen is going to WRC so it is Jenson Button and Hamilton in Mclaren next year

That was posted way back in September. I'll assume your new to the whole forum thing

The thing with Lopez is that he was supposed to get an $8,000,000 sponsorship deal within a week, but it's been at least a month and nothing has been updated, so who knows what has happened with that?
