   Keith, I think you’ve forgotten Lucas di Grassi at Renault.
   He’s up the order from Grosjean, I’m certain..

   Good point – I’ve added him in, although I have no idea about any plans for him for 2009. It’s not as if they’ve kept him busy this year – he’s gone back to GP2.

   Diacho – you’re right about Di Grassi, the guys quality and has shown so after going back to GP2 and in 2/3 rounds has leaped up to 4th in the championship.

   I wonder if Buemi/Liuzzi might get a gig for Toro Rosso in 2009 to partner Sebby B.

   Man, just want to say nice site. Also I have been watching F1 for 4 years now (Might start GP2 next year) but there is a lot of turn over in F1, seems like most drivers are gone after a year or two. What a shame.

   Doesn’t Timo Glock have a 2009 contract? I’m sure I read something earlier in the year that there was less pressure on him than Piquet becuase he had a 2 year deal from the start?

   Paul – It’s widely expected, but I don’t think it’s been formally announced yet. See here.

    I think Honda should give Bruno a shot, but if you asked me i’d preffered he got at least one full season of testing and them unleash him.
    He has the talent but i don’t think he’s F1 ready.

    i think that people should take their eye of hamilton and massa and take time to admire some other drivers. i think they are over rated and do not compare to drivers such as mansell and so on, and i also would like to hear your view about this subject

      i think in his era Mansell was great alongside Hill.but realistically speaking Lewis and Massa are the top class at the moment,you have to admit it was very exciting watching last season.roll on 2009 already.Hamilton is only going to get even better,Hamilton World champion 2009.

    on Timo, Glock, i have read he has a contract for next year! it was extended after Hungary i think!
    i dont see why STR would even consider Liuzzi after sacking him last year!
    i personally think he’s over-rated as is Sato! tho Sato is only around through nationality.
    and saying Massa and Hamilton are overrated, i thought at start of year that Massa wont win a race this year after his probs in the 1st 2 races, after that he he drove very well bar Silverstone!
    lets face it, over the whole year they did have best results even tho i’d say Kubica, Alonso or Vettel would be driver of the year!
