F1 silly season 2009

Keppana · Post by **Keppana** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 9:40 am

My bet for next season goes like this:

Brawn: Button - Räikkönen
Ferrari: Massa - Alonso
McLaren: Hamilton - Rosberg
Red Bull: Vettel - Kubica
Williams: Kovalainen - Barrichello
Toro Rosso: Heidfeld - Trulli
Renault: Grosjean - Glock? Webber? Bourdais?
Force India: Fisichella - Sutil
Toyota: Nakajima - Bourdais? Webber?
USF1: Andretti Jr. - Rahal Jr.
Campos: Mansell Jr. - Brundle Jr.
Manor: ?

I don't think that Brawn is going to be at top next season again, so why would Raikkonen go there? We'll see anyway

And why would Räikkönen go to McLaren, he didn't enjoy himself in there the last time. And I don't see any point for any top driver to go drive as a helper of Hamilton as it's clear that McLaren can't treat their drivers equally. Lewis will always have the edge from the team over his team mate.

Kimi has said previosely that the last team he will drive in is Ferrari. If that statement holds, next year for Kimi is in Ferrari or in WRC

To be honest, I don't see the point in changing either of the Ferrari drivers. In the last years with Schumacher, Massa was almost as fast as him and even sometimes beating him. Kimi has been beating everyone of his team mates clearly except Massa. So, short conclusion tells that Ferrari has top class drivers. The problem in this season hasn't been the drivers, but the car. Keep the drivers, improve the car and get both championships next year, period.

I think Badoer will dominate everyone on Monza, Ferrari will be begging to keep him around and Massa can look for a new job.

The point is that Raikkonen is as slow as Fisichella. And last race showed it.

I don't know why you're all putting Kubica in the Red Bull when Red Bull have already announced that they are keeping both drivers for next year.

Personally, I think the Ferrari/Alonso 2010 thing is all just media speculation too (considering that both current drivers are contracted for 2010 anyway). I think that will happen in 2011.

So, here's my predicted 2010 driver line-up...

Ferrari: Massa & Raikkonen
McLaren: Hamilton & Rosberg
Brawn: Button & Barrichello
Red Bull: Vettel & Webber
Renault: To be thrown out / withdraw over the "crash-gate" scandal. (But if not... Alonso & Grosjean).
Williams: Hulkenberg & Glock (or Kubica if BMW-Sauber aren't saved).
Toyota: To withdraw from the sport. (But if not... Kovalainen & Nakajima).
Toro Rosso: Buemi & Alguesuari
Force India: Sutil & Liuzzi
USGP: Wurz & Rahal
Manor: Davidson & di Resta
Campos: de la Rosa & Petrov
(If BMW-Sauber are saved): Heidfeld & Kubica

Fisichella > To replace Badoer as Ferrari test driver.
Trulli > To go into a testing role with a team.

Should their stated drives not be available then...
Nakajima > To return to GP2 / testing.
Grosjean > To return to GP2 / testing.
Alonso > On hiatus for one year before returning with Ferrari in 2011.

Luuuul. Sorry, but your beloved Ferrari was slower than Force India in Spa. But I understand that as an italian you can't see that. So np. In skills Kimi wipes the floor with Fisi.

Indeed, we all know that Kimi is the best driver out there

I agree, Kimi is faster than Fisi. I will never forget a few years ago at Suzuka when Kimi in the McLaren passed Fisi in the Renault on the last lap.

I was never expecting Fisi to win the race this weekend. I thought he could probably catch Kimi, but not pass him.

Anyway.. he could be racing rally cars next year.

also BMW will not be allowed in next year yet that is about 99% sure,
and if BMW would arise the news is that piquette would be investor so i also assume hell be a driver ... but not sutre about that

also but not sure about it just asking here what about the point system will it be thrown away i thought i heard it would be staying but my mind is confusing me yes no yes no
