With the lastest rumours surrounding Nico Rosberg's future, would anyone be willing to take a guess at the driver line ups for next season?

All in the name of fun of course and all speculation. Who will be in the new teams? (E.g. Davidson, Patrick, Senna etc etc) Who will be kicked out? (E.g. Heidfeld? Barrichello? Kovalainen?)

We can also post some of the rumours which will appear over the next few months. Might as well start early.

Just copy this list with your driver line ups:

VODAFONE McLAREN MERCEDES -

*cautiously awaits for people to link Button, Vettel Alonso and Danica Patrick to Ferrari* :P

Nakajima staying at Williams will depend on either his performancs until the end of the year or Toyota's stance. Patrick Head has stated he wants an experienced driver which will probably be either Barrichello or Heidfeld - or perhaps even Ant.

SCUDERIA FERRARI MARLBORO
-Felipe Massa
-Kimi Raikkonen

VODAFONE McLAREN MERCEDES -
-Lewis Hamilton
-Heikki Kovalinen (He's been doing a fine job, McLaren are happy with him. Plus, McLaren admitted they aren't judging their drivers when they're being given a such a poor car)

BMW SAUBER F1 TEAM -
-Robert Kubica
-Nick Heidfeld

RENAULT F1 TEAM -
-Fernando Alonso (he'll switch in 2011 unless the renault next year is championship winning)
-Romain Grosjean (Renault know Alonso is going, and Grosjean is their next wonder kid. It certainly isn't Piquet)

PANASONIC TOYOTA RACING -
-Jarno Truili
-Timo Glock

SCUDERIA TORO ROSSO -
- Sebastien Buemi (doubt they'll let this young upshot go)
- Sebastien Bourdais (he isn't doing as bad lately, and the teams does need a bit of consistency.)

RED BULL RACING - (the best driver line up in the field, in my opinion. It'd be stupid to change it)
-Sebastain Vettel
-Mark Webber

AT&T WILLIAMS -
- Kazuki Nakajima (Williams can see Naka improving, and they can see him becoming more involved with set-ups. I get they feeling they'll retain him)
- Nico Rosberg (Rosberg seems quite happy with the team this year, and their ability to improve further)

FORCE INDIA F1 TEAM -
?? - Paul Di Reista (or at least I hope. He's a talent going to waste right now)
?? - Vitantonio Luzzi (I get the feeling he was promised a driver at some point)
?? - Fisi (He's a new man at FI, and been doing great this year)

BRAWN GP FORMULA ONE TEAM -
-Jenson Button
-Rubens Barrichello (he'll probably retire next year though)

CAMPOS META TEAM -
MANOR GRAND PRIX -
TEAM US F1 -

These 3 teams, its anyones guess. Who knows really, who they'll hire. Its anyone guess, but the drivers I think might get a drive are
-Anthony Davidson
-Adam Carroll
-Nico Hulkenburg
-Di Grassi (questionable though)
-Taku Sato

American drivers
not Dancia Patrick anyway :hehe: Maybe someone like Johnathan Summerton or Marco Andretti.

I don't think we'll see a large amount of changes. Many of the teams have provided poor cars, and it seems teams in those positions don't like to judge their drivers for doing a poor job, when the car itself is a piece of crap.
#128881
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Bruno Senna yet.


I don't know, I expect him in BrawnGP. And, he will get seat there after Barrichello's retirement. Everybody believes that's going to happen next year so he'll be there in 2011.

I don't see team who can hire him for the next season, except those tree new comers. But, they certainly have other plans. USF1 will have all American line up, that's for sure. Campos and Manor, I don't know what to say about their line ups. Could be anyone. And, yes, I'd like to see Anthony Davidson back in F1.
#128885
I'll tell you who is questionable. Roman Grojean.

:hehe: He's only been champion in nearly every series he's entered. Not to mentioning the fact, he's a step ahead of the rest in GP2.

Also, darn. Forget all about Senna. Surely he'll have a seat next year.

BRAWN GP FORMULA ONE TEAM - Button and Rubens

The World Champion and WDC runner up return to win every race again after looking good in testing Button takes pole Rubens is faster with more fuel.

very true but since the swiss part would remain neutral the rest would invade Poland. :P

But in your logic they should hire a Swiss driver, i.e., Buemi or Gachnang?
