This is actually a great seat to be in, considering that Honda have a load or potenial next year, and could very well be a fanatical long term team.
But anyways, we've got 3 Brazillians all going for the same drive, which one will get it.
Barrichello - He out-scored and out-qualified Jenson over 2008, and is an extremely experienced hand. So there's no reason why he shouldn't be driving next year.
Senna - Name says it all. In just 3 years of racing, he's come quite a long year, but wasn't overally consistent last year, and couldn't take the title. But still has the potenial, remember Aryton Senna's words "if you think I'm fast, wait till you see my nephew"
Di Grassi - Didn't get the drive at Renault, but he finished just behind Glock in Gp2 07, and finished 3rd this year despite missing 3 rounds, and 6 races. No doubt he would've been champion had he completed the whole season. He's a great all round driver, and finished on the podium nearly every race he drove in 08.
It's interesting, Honda have said they're more interested in new talent this year, and Petrobas are apparently looking to sponsor them along with a young brazillian.
