Heres my sample for 2010 so far:
Personally, if i were STR-Ferarri, what id try and do is pick up Kimui Kobiyashi and farm Jamie Algusuari out to GP2 for a year, whilst keeping him on at Test & reserve level. Also the exposure for Red Bull in the Japaneese market would be huge.
Simmilarly if Renault are rebranded Nissan (Renault would still supply Red Bull and keep brand exposure here) id recon that putting Kubiyashi or Nakajimma in the team would be gold. Also if Renault were to rebrand the team Nissan, this could lead to a all new Nissan powerplant in the car, thus posibly flouting the engine freeze. However, i think that Renault/Nissan will keep Grosjean on for another season, as i think if he gets a propper good pre-season under his belt he will turn out good.
Whitch leads me to Mercedes GP, i feel that Heidfeld is on the way there, altho he is also in the spot beside Fisi at Quadbak Sauber. However, i think if Heidfeld goes to Mercedes its ona one year retainer, as i feel that their T&R driver could be Kimi, as with Ferarri hes gonna get €17m for a gardening leave season, €10m if he races for another team. If he tests only, he can still get the €17m retainer, this could be with either Mercedes GP or Sauber.
As for Hekki, i feel that he is on his way most probably to either Campos Meta or Sauber for 2010. USF1, now theres the enigma, they, i feel, will go for a young US Driver, posibly Jonathan Summerton or a Mexican driver in Sergio Pérez or Pastor Maldonado from Venezuela, as those drivers will bring substancial sponsorship to the US team.
There are plenty of good young, drivers out there, but is there enough good young experienced drivers out there??? I think not. Thus leads me to think that 2010 could be a year for crashes and incedents in the early stages. Think 2006 with 2009 cars would be my early sinopsis.
