it would be good, but hopefully heidfeld keeps a drive in F1 somewhere, maybe at renault.


Although, Raikkonen vs. Massa vs. Hamilton vs. Kovalainen vs. Kubica vs. Alonso would be a formidable championship battle!

So that's 2 teams he's signed for and he's in talks with another. He's going to be busy next year.

I'd rather see Alfonso go to Honda really, would be great to see Alfonso + Braun + Button storming back to the front. (Y)

Hope its true, Nando deserves a good car, he has been stunning this year. BMW would then have the strongest driver pairing in the field. And my two favourite drivers :)

Fernando had a good car - he chose to give it up if I remember rightly! ;)

Heidfeld certainly doesn't deserve to be turfed out for someone who will have no loyalty to the team whatsoever, will probably be challenged by Kubica, throw a strop and go to Ferrari in 2010.

Just more rumours.

Brawn again has praised Alonso. Though rather than praise its simply the truth.

I think that BMW will definitely be better next (maybe not best, but may be...).
BMW are abandon this year title fight and concentrate for 2009 fully, while Ferrari and McLaren are concentrate on this year fight and that may be little disadvantage but we will see what will happen next year, but I can see BMW stronger than it is now. So if Alonso go to BMW that may be good decision and I hope for multiteam team title fight.

if alonso is at bmw, then surely kubica will be out, bmw policy has to have atleast one german driver, and it wouldnt surprise me if they support heidfeld more towards the end of the year to get his performance up, so that they have a reason to resign him.

...that would be a suicide (hidfield instead kubica)

thats suicide, yes.

Kubica and Alonso would be a strong pair - and they are both aggressive drivers, so they wouldnt have problems to suit the cars to them.

and i believe they are friends off-track already, so they should fit in.

i think a heidfeld-alonso swap would be good, because i think renault could be quite decent next year with the rule changes.

I dont see how Kubica have been soooo much better than Heidfeld. I agree if people would be watching only practise results, but what ever. Anyway, both of them would make Alonso to cry again and to bash the team etc..

Would be mistake to choose Alonso and for Alonso it would be mistake to work in different team than his manager.

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

More than practice results. From Planet F1, who was better than who -

QUALY F/LAP RACE POINTS
Heidfeld
Qual - 1
F/Lap - 6
Race - 3
Points - 41

Kubica
Qual - 11 (!)
F/Lap - 6
Race - 9
Points - 55

I don't know what to think really, I don't really want to see Kubica and Heidfeld go for Alonso, who, lets be fair, would end up in the same situation as he was at McLaren if he replaces Heidfeld. It will be like having two number ones and we know what happend last time.

However, having a driver of Alonso's capability at BMW will surely see Kubica improve even more, trying to beat Alonso etc.

I don't think he will replace Kubica, then the other options will probably be either Renault or Honda. Which are hardly the quality (still could change for 2009) as BMW Sauber.

I'd rather he didn't go to BMW, for the simple fact it would probably be like McLaren 07.
