Such a shame... another awesome talent is being wasted. Hope he can come back somewhere during the season.
As for the line-up... I like Grosjean very much, he deserves a chance. Kick out Petrov once and for all. And Senna hasn't done anything impressive except, perhaps, Spa qualifying. In their place I would choose a rather experimented driver, such as Barrichello or Sutil. Rubinho has still his skill, yeah, he's old, but he has the initiative. And Sutil is far from being old, he's a potential master in the rain (a nice example is China 2009 where he was 4th until he crashed
)
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

The team is a mess. It would be all too easy to blame Boullier and/or the drivers.
Right now, the best thing for them to do IMO is to stick with Bruno and Petrov (says a huge Bruno fan!). Bruno has race experience now, with the team, and an OK car. He proved he has the speed, and he's proved to be as quick as Petrov if not quicker. Some winter testing is likely to improve his situation, for both the drivers and I think they will just get better.
If that's proved wrong, and one of them fails to achieve the set goals then get Grosjean. In the meantime, alternate FP1 seats with the 3 guys. Let Grosjean get seat time and time with the team.
Kubica aint coming back for 2012, and I doubt we will see him in F1. In motor racing, maybe but F1... Im not sure. At least not with a top team. Its a massive shame but thats racing. The guy is lucky to be alive, and frankly the last thing on his mind is probably F1.
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

Neidf... oh, wait.
My dream is Kimi if he dont get into a Williams (The robertsons already talked to Renault a bit, and QNB sponsoring for williams seems to have failed), but if not, keep Senna and Petrov, and when one of them fail, get Grosjean
If Grosjean gets even half a chance for next year it'll be proof that Boullier needs his head examined. The only thing worse than a sh*t driver is a sh*t driver who's stuck up his own arse.
The only logical way forward in Kubica's absence is to go with Senna and Petrov. That would provide continuity and much-needed stability, we know Petrov is a driver who is capable of quality performances after Abu Dhabi 2010 and Melbourne this year, and Senna has the potential to really blossom if he's given another - full - season in that car.

Sad to see this news. I really now doubt we will ever seen Kubica return to full time F1. A real pity as he was a great talent.

Ferrari may still be interested in Kubica, his contract with LRGP is nearly over and lets face it, Ferrar are better positioned to rehabilitate a driver to F1. They could have him pounding round Firiano in any number of relatively recent Ferraris belonging to their clientele thingy.

True, but Renault also have a 2009 car ready to test.
I'd say Ferrari would be very wary to experiment on Kubica considering that Massa arguably lost some performance after his injury.
