Well he was without a drive for most of 2004. I hope he stays next year but I'm thinking BMW will want to get Kubica in and I can't see them dropping their German driver.

I would love to see Coulthard get that seat, although I'm cringing at the idea of cheering on a Ferrari driver. It would make sense for Ferrari if they can only get one of either Raikkonen or Schumacher.

[deevlash]

Ferrari need someone to get points regularly and dc fits the bill there, he might even stick it to schumacher (maybe) but apparently Toyota are less than pleased with their current line up and are wondering why they didnt sign him in the 1st place as hes an excellent development driver. Plus Ralf is mince and gets paid too much, hes like the duncan ferguson of F1

I'd agree with much of what you suggest in your list.

One exception: about a week ago, Trulli signed a contract extension with Toyota that lasts until '09.

[FourWheelDrift]

Webber for R.Schumacher then I can't see both staying for next year.

Hope Villeneuve stay in F1. He's been very good of late

Apart from stuffing it into the armco in Canada.... but yes, he has been driving well.

Where's Doornbos?

He's to stay with Red Bull . . . they say.

Ah Ha! Excellent insight - looks like we've got a replacement for The Cock.

I like the Piquet suggestion - he has sponsors enough to pay for a drive - but not sure about the talent

Since when did talent enter the equation?

but he had a choice of running into the back of ralf (ralf lifted) or going off line and trying to pass him. He went off line and once on the marbles there is absolutely zero grip (like driving on ball bearings). So he hit the wall. I don't think that was really his fault. Ralf slowed in a dumb place.

I regret to inform you that Mr Cora Schumacher's contract with Toyota extends at least through 2007.

No, I cannot comprehend it either.

Normally those bipedal parasites known as driver's "agents" don't deserve a fraction of what they get paid.
In the case of Willi Weber's acting for Ralfie, however, surely it's Weber who should be keeping the lion's share.

[FourWheelDrift]

I think Willi Weber might do a better job at the driving, he must have picked something up from Shoemaker snr.
