Yes, we all know the reason why is Maldonado in Williams!

I don't, let me guess he paid to drive as well? What the hell are none of these drivers po folk anymore?

Jules Bianchi? Not sure where he'd fit in though, but I'd be surprised if Ferrari were aiming for him to drive for them as an f1 rookie.

When the say pay drivers it generally doesn't mean that the driver is actually paying for the ride. Sometimes it does if there is a large family fortune, but for the most part it means that a special interest... is supplying the dollars (usually in guaranteed advertising or sponsors) that are going to be brought to the team should that driver be given the ride. In the case of Maldonado the special interest is the Venezuelan government.

How do we think 2010 rookies Bruno Senna, Lucas Di Grassi and Karun Chandhok will fair in the future (with regards to F1)???

Chandhok would make a fair presenter / commentator as well, he seems rather good at it when he does anything with the BBC.

brunno senna i think deserves another chance (no not because of his name) and nico hulkenburg too!, maldonando has been a dissapointment ( but so has the williams car) and raikkonen dont even get me started

In the past Ferrari prefered the Sauber's to break them in

There's a Kobayashi in red thread floating around if I recall.

Yes, but Ferrari also back Perez in the Sauber, so it'd mean moving Kobayashi on.

It'll be a tight fight between Bianchi and Grosjean in gp2 this year, whoever comes out on top I think will get the pick of f1 seats for rookies.
