Hmmm, I can't imagine McLaren with #22 & #23 :)
Also, not sure where will go Alonso (if he leave McLaren) because it is too obvious that marriage between him and Silver arrows are not a harmonic one (apart resaults may say different to someone who is not into F1).
Anyway, I'm not convinced that Prodrive will make it to showe up in Australia...but we are expect suprise from them :)
And think that Kovalainen will stay in Renault.

I don't think Sutil is confirmed at Force (ugh) India, and it's unlikely Prodrive will show up.

I think the only teams that we 100% know both the drivers for are Ferrari, BMW Sauber, Red Bull and Toro Rosso.

So now there are strong rumours that Ron won't release Nando to any other big manufacturers team, leaving Williams and Red Bull as the likely candidates. Williams have an empty seat but frankly (oops sorry) a deal could be cut with Webber going to Renault to be with Flavio and Heikki, so brining in a more experienced driver and parting with Fisi. Add in the talk of Ross Brawn landing at RBR and the odds start to favour the Milton Keynes team.

But wait. Now I hear that Williams big sponsor Royal Bank of Scotland and one of Maclaren's Spannish banking sponsors have teamed up to complete the biggest take-over in commercial history. Might this partnership influence Alonso's choice by maintaining links with one of his current sponsors? Its all getting a bit silly but Williams have, today, conducted a very private test at a UK airfield where it is reported that a 'new' test driver was put through his paces. Sounds like it was a chance for evaluating any driver who happened to stroll past. Anyone know where Nando was today?

Nico bites yer tyres!

Are you sure about Webber at Red Bull? I've not heard any confirmations and isn't it a one year contract?

I was sure that I read somewhere that Coulthard and Webber were confirmed for 2008... but we all know how it can change.

Webber best move then. He'll be stuck on the back-row otherwise.

Hehe that post couldn't have been timed any better Red Bull lol. Most of the driver market now revolves around him so I expect this page to be changing quite a bit in the near future.

Oh, that's a bit bollocks. With the driver merry-go-round in full swing I was expecting something a bit more "oooh". I don't think Nakaz will do much, and feel they could have done with a bit more experience alongside Rosberg - I feel Wurz benefited Rosberg no end last year.
