Silly season 2010

[ESPImperium]

Any ideas who's going to get the second renault seat?

Its gone very quite from what i can see.

Id say it could be Nick Heifeld, but Ho Pin Tung or someone else will probably get the nod, heres the short list id say they could be looking at:

Vitaly Petrov
Luca Filippi
Giedo van der Garde
Jérôme d'Ambrosio
Dani Clos
Pastor Maldonado


Other Drivers (Other Series)
Bertrand Baguette
Sébastien Bourdais

Other Drivers (Unnatached)
Kazuki Nakajima
Romain Grosjean
Anthony Davidson
Christian Klien
Nick Heidfeld

Algusauri is more likley to take the STR seat, all thats needed is a couple of contract details to be sorted out propperly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaime_Alguersuari

According to Marko he will get the seat so it will probably make sense to learn spelling his name.

It will be Alguersuari. It's just some contractual details that have to be solved, but generally it's Alguersuari. I don't know when the official announcement will be, Mr. Tost knows exactly when.

Marko is a fool but a fool with power at Red Bull. So we can take this to the bank.

Time for update. Guesstimates in Italics

Mercedes: Schumacher - Rosberg
Red Bull: Vettel - Webber
McLaren: Hamilton - Button
Ferrari: Alonso - Massa
Sauber: Heidfeld - Kobayashi
Renault: Kubica - Ho-Pin Tung
Williams: Barichello - Hülkenberg
Toro Rosso: Buemi - Alguersuari
Force India: Sutil - Liuzzi
Virgin: Glock - Di Grassi
Lotus: Trulli - Kovalainen
Campos: NN - Senna
USF1: Villeneuve - Lopez

Only five seats are open.

If you take the Italics off Heidfeld and move Senna to Renault, I think you have your Bahrain grid, WB.

Looks like fisichela could really get the sauber seat:

Im saying this for Bahrain:

1&2 McLaren: Button/Hamilton
3&4 Mercedes: Rosberg/Schumacher
5&6 Red Bull: Vettel/Webber
7&8 Ferarri: Alonso/Massa
9&10 Williams: Barrichello/Hulkenberg
11&12 Renault: Kubica/Heidfeld
14&15 Force India: Sutil/Liuzzi
16&17 STR-Ferarri: Buemi/Algusauri
18&19 Lotus-Cosworth: Trulli/Kovalainen
20&21 Campos-Dallara: Petrov/Senna
22&23 USF1-Cosworth: Lopez/Maldonado
24&25: Virgin-Cosworth: Glock/Di Grasi
26&27 Sauber-Ferarri: Fisichella/Kobiyashai

Underlined = All but asured of seat due to technicality
Italics = Drivers TBC for empty seats.

Christ, ESPImperium can't you learn to spell Alguersuari's name right? It gives me the creeps.

And what do you think is wrong about that?

To have a typo in one line and spell it right two lines down from there isn't the same as mincing a drivers name all the time.

Pedro is back racing, according to Autosport, with BMW Sauber for 2010. this drops hopes of Fisichella for the seat.....

[raceman]

rumour has it that Heidfeld is closer to a race seat along side Robert Kubica with Renault in 2010, thus making an unchanged driver line-up having a new team for the first time (instead of a team having a brand new driver line-up)


interesting, huh




indeed, silly season

You mean this year? I can immediately think of Benetton 1996, others may probably remember more.

anyway, glad if Heidfeld makes it to the grid; he is a damn good racer
