Yeah, they might. Otherwise I'll bet he'll be back.
Power corrupts, eh?

So do you think Fernando will drag Ferrari down?
Not that he was alone in the blame but his last two stints have ended....er...uneasily. Ferrari seem a bit fragile right now. He does have all the tools for winning lots of races but his tool chest is obviously much deeper than that. Do you think he will return the team to prominence or dash it on the rocks?
I'm voting rocks.

Everything but official. It might be interesting to ask Kimi that question.

Pretty good race and really good season I thought. Next year should be big fun. Although I'm very much looking forward to it, hopefully the biggest fun will be had in the interim =)
Fave lines of the weekend: "Putting the boo in Abu Dhabi." Sebastian Vettel, what will you do in the off season that you can't do during the season? "Skiing! There's no snow in the mountains during the season" Kimi Raikonnen, what will you do in the off season that you can't do during the season? Nothing really, I do whatever I want whenever I want. (paraphrased)

Expected Toyota. Figured Renault would stay after they signed Kubica. Hopefully there will be thirteen teams on the grid next year. Should be a place for Kobayashi somewhere.
Did you catch Peter Windsor saying that eventually USF1 would have American drivers? Sure hope they're points competitive next year.

Toyota is officially out. Some say this is the kiss of death to F1. I'm not sure I get why..

You could easily be right. Fun to be optimistic though and with the rule changes, next year will be a pretty good year to be a rookie team. Wurz would be good. I think Red Bull owes a lot of their success to having veteran drivers to start out with...good set up guys.
Ha! If Apple gets behind them wouldn't it be fun if Microsoft sponsored another fledgling team. It would be like the Mac vs. PC ads played out on race courses around the world =).
Any young hot shoe Donohues or Gurneys out there?
Yeah, it's not like they're Ferrari or anything.

Wow, I missed that news and your post. I think this will work out better than Senna/Prost or Hamilton/Alonso. Hmmm, so Mercedes Grand Prix will field Rosberg/Heidfeld while their customer team will have the last two world champs. Think those customer mills will have the same specs?
So where will Rubens and Heikki land?
Looks like Eddie Jordan is convinced that Michael will drive for his old buddy Ross next year.
Should be fun!

You're probably right. Did some quick hunting but didn't find the info. Of course my wishful thinking had him in a USF1 ride.

. Anyway, they must be participating in some other FIA sanctioned category. Just saying the threat of their withdrawal should not prevent them from being sanctioned as a team like McLaren or Williams would be.
