Where will the drivers go after they've retired from F1?

Post

Hey all. Just a fun, pointless speculation thread to cover the summer break boredom :mrgreen:

Where do you think each driver will go after the end of their F1 careers? I know there are some rookies that are just getting started, but hey, what the heck :mrgreen:

I think (I've left out some names who I really have no idea where they'd go):

Vettel - DTM
Webber - Le Mans
Button - Le Mans
Massa - Brazilian Touring Cars?
Schumacher - stops racing
Rosberg - DTM
Heidfeld - probably a shoe in for 2012 DTM
Kubica - some sort of rally
Petrov - Ooh here's a tricky one... maybe Le Mans?
Kobayashi - Formula Drift? D1GP?
Perez - FIA GT championshp (I don't know why, but I just think that way)
Sutil - WTCC
Hulkenberg - DTM
Di Resta - BTCC
Barrichello - Le Mans
Buemi - complete retirement
Alguersuari - complete retirement
Trulli - Nascar?
Kovalainen - Finnish Rally, or Indy
Liuzzi - karting (for fun)
Ricciardo - Aussie V8s
Karthikeyan - Nascar trucks
Glock - DTM
D'ambrosio - WRC

Don't forget about the newly announced World Sportscar Championship. With more factory support it will probably lure away some of the drivers. Don't forget about Indycar either, I read the new 2012 cars are 3 sec/lap faster than the current car, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few F1 drivers went that way as well. Takuma Sato isn't doing bad, definitely better than he was in F1.

Alonso and Hamilton who are not on your list will go to the same place as the other drivers that have gotten absurdly rich from F1, which is any where they want! :mrgreen:

Haug has said that Merc will offer Schumacher a seat in DTM once he's finished with F1.
