4th in a Red Bull is not great though, and he never looked like challenging. I just think he has no pace at all.

As much as Teflonso is a petulant bad loser, he is a great driver and will expose Massa badly. FM can put in good laps, but not be consistently quick, and prone to totally unforced errors, Im amazed Ferrari prefer him to Kimi. Alonso is a main challenger again, cant wait for KK (Pocket Kings) to get a quick car, in fact him and lewis would be dynamite together.

They release there pilots many time so far. but the pilots they haf had are not so good. scott speed, vitantonio liuzzi, sebastian bourdais. Only Vettel is moved on and he was lucky for win at monza to help him move to Red bull. He already had good finish in the other races. Maybe can put alguersuari there also he has bad record so far compare to vettel.

Not really, he did come 4th in the drivers championship last year didn’t he? So, no I don’t think he is overrated I just think he is just not as good as Vettel that doesn’t mean he is a bad driver though. However I agree that Kobayashi would be awesome in a Redbull or Mercedes or Mclaren or Ferrari, a good car will see him in the top order of F1. Also does anyone else think that Kobayashi may be nicked from Sauber Ferrari by Scuderia Ferrari after Alonso throws another hissy fit over being beaten by his teammate and goes back to Renault for 2011?

Anyone else think Webber is massively overrated, compared to the standard of the RB car and Vettel, I think hes totally out of his league. Kobayashi and Vettel would be cool team.

“It will be Alguersuari. We must still resolve some contractual details, but our choice will be him.”

That, my friends, is the confirmation that Alguersuari will NOT drive with Toro Rosso this year. The old excuse of “contractual details” was always a good code, if you didn’t want to keep a driver, but couldn’t afford to say so. I’d guess that they are looking at someone else but have just not finished the negotiations yet.

That’s good,if Webber go away from Red Bull in 2011 & Vettel doing it in 2012 then Red Bull will have Sebastien Buemi & Jaime Alguersuar in their list.

Toro Rosso; who wants to bet that one of the drivers will be out before the season is over. Not because the drier is bad but due to they just dont think he has it.

No but I think Buemi will join Red Bull Racing in the not to distant future. Maybe 2011

“I think Brendon will get into F1 once Buemi joins the Red Bull team”

Is that a done deal?
