    I think Adrian Newey’s role in Williams decline is being overstated a wee bit. Yes it hit the team pretty hard, but I think the more fundamental issue was the fact that they lost 2 major engine/technical partners in the recent past (first Renault and then BMW) without finding a suitable replacement. Compare that to McLaren’s success with Mercedes and Renault and BMW’s performances as manufacturer teams it seems to stck up that that had more of an effect on the team.

    On the topic, whatever happened to Christiano Da Matta and Ricardo “front row seat for THAT pass on MSC” Zonta.

    What happened to Mike Thackwell ? Once the wonderkid of Formula One (the youngest driver to start a GP after Alguersari I think ?) and also what happened to Formula One cars that actually looked different from one another and to sparks that flew from the underbody (that would be awesome in Singapore) ?

    Da Matta had a horrible crash with a deer during a Champ car test in 2006 at Road America. I’m not sure what he did after that since he hasn’t made a single seater comeback.

    Da Matta did a couple races in the Rolex series in 2008 and I think he’s doing some truck racing in Brazil now. He’s alive and kicking.

    I forgot to mention in the OP that this idea is stolen from F1 Racing Magazine – and that I just wanted to see if anyone could come up with some more interesting ones.

    I want to know what happened to Antônio Pizzonia and Gianmaria Bruni! Does anyone know?
