    It seems to me that putting Sutil on Massa’s seat would make sense, much more than Fisichella.

    agree with @Gaston!

    If you look at the two recent seasons Hispania have been quite fond of changing their drivers mid season so if anyone is going to change their driver line up first its them and it will probably be Narhain Kartikheyan

    Romain Grosjean.

    Jenson Button

    Not sure Grosjean really counts, seeing as the idea of this thread was to see who would be booted out by their team, but…

    Grosjean it is!
    It took a while though, last year, five people had already been replaced at some stage at this point in the season.

    I don’t think I actually see any drivers being replaced now until the end of the season (excluding bans and illness/injury).

    This isn’t really a replacement, just a temporary stand-in, we all know Grosjean will be back in Singapore.

    It amazes me how everyone, even Massa and Karthikeyan, look good to keep their seat until the end of the season.

    @Kingshark to be honest, were it not for de la Rosa’s Sauber year and Heidfeld’s Lotus year, I don’t think we’d even have seen anything in the likes of mid-season driver changes barring force majeure (I’m quite sure Massa’s headbutt with a damper counts as force majeure, and Luca Badoer’s driving skills for a Formula One driver are just slightly short of a natural disaster)
