From that quote I think he means best Japanese driver.
He couldn't possibly mean best ever full stop, because that would be absolute madness. |

Though the guy has a point, there is no reason for him not to be the best Japanese driver ever, he seems to have all the tools.

He certainly could be the best Japanese driver ever, and is certainly a very good option for the future.

Bruno Senna is doubtful about about the future of Hispania.
From things that have been said, I'm sure he and Karun Chandhok would like to jump ship, but where to is the question? Even though a couple of teams (ART and Cypher) have withdrawn their attempts to become the thirteenth team, there are still one or two respectable contenders. |

There's one respectable contender - Epsilon Euskadi. The other two which are known about are Durango-Villeneuve and Stefan GP, sans Toyota.

I thought Stefan's collaboration with Toyota was over on the basis they didn't get on the '10 grid?

It is, as confirmed in the post above. In terms of the new team for 2011 (assuming that the slot is filled), I suspect that it will be Epsilon Euskadi, although I sort of hope that the Villeneuve/Durango alliance pays off.

Esteban Guerrieri is aiming at Virgin, and he has also Argentinian Government support to suceed in his try.

It sounds like Sergio Perez might land with Sauber next year as it is rumored that Carlos Slim of Telmex will sponsor the team next year.

I totally agree. I think it'll be another case of the runner-up in GP2 landing a seat in F1 sooner than the champion.
Anyway, Glock's confirmed he's willing to stop on at Virgin Racing today, so I guess that ends the speculation that he's off to Renault. One less candidate for Petrov's seat. |

It's pretty much Petrov vs Sutil for the 2nd Renault seat now, isn't it?

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks, because it's the old story. When the music stops there will be a lot of disappointment because there are too many drivers chasing too few seats.

Kovalainen looks pretty committed to Lotus, and I think he knows Lotus would be a better bet for his career than being crushed by Kubica at Renault. I would have thought Kobayashi rather than de la Rosa being the dark horse for Renault. It's still possible as he hasn't openly committed to Sauber yet. |

DelaRosa like Luizzi have had there chance and aren't impressing. They should go. Petrov will stay assuming he has a budget because he is a nice guy that doesn't cause any problems with Kubica and can score points the 2nd year around.

And as much as Petrov brings in, i'm not sure if being a 'nice guy' will help him hang on to that seat. Saying this, it does look as though Renault are supporting the fella more as of late, which would point towards them keeping him on for 2011. I'd like to see Kobayashi hounding Kubica - Two super aggressive drivers. Saying that, I would like Sauber to do well next season. Selby |
