what are the chances of the villeneuve name back in a ferrari come valencia?
None.
Quite honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Ferrari only drove one car in Valencia. They have very little to gain from bringing in someone for what could just be one race with their constructors standing. Unless it looks like Massa is going to be out for the rest of the season, I wouldn't expect anyone new in their other car. I say this largely because Ferrari have a reputation to uphold, and they are not about to taint it any more than they already have this season by bringing in one of their old test drivers (both are mid to late 30s), or some young talent with no experience, neither of those options would get them points anyway.
I think they will stick by their man Felipe.
Back to the topic at hand... I think it should be said in the defense of USGPE that they have never come out and said anything outlandish like they will win races in their first season or expect to be championship contenders in 2010. I think they have a very real understanding of their chances next year, or lack thereof. They seem to be getting a lot of crap about the two American drivers idea, but it's not like the team is being run by idiots, Windsor knows what it takes to have a winning team and I don't think he would sacrifice that for the sake of publicity. He threw out a few names very early on as potential candidates for the drivers spots, but that's all he said and very little has been said by him since then. Most of these ridiculous names are coming from very unreliable sources, this thread is a perfect example of that. Lets not misplace the origin of them on USGPE, call them idiots when they have actually done something stupid, up until this point, they haven't done anything at all.
