Jarno has a contract with Toyota next year (or 09), so I expect him there. There are also rumors that Timo Glock is lined up to join Toyota, though there is also talk of Nico Rosberg going there as well. I think Giancarlo will be gone from F1 next year. Gary Paffett is linked to the other Prodrive drive.
So, McLaren - Lewis Hammilton, Fernando Alonso Ferrari - Felipe Massa, Kimi Raikkonen Renault - Hekki Kovalinen, Nelson Piquet Jr BMW - Nick Heidfed, Robert Kubica Toyota - Jarno Trulli, Nico Rosberg Honda - Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello Williams - Timo Glock, Kazuki Nakajima Red Bull - Mark Webber, David Coulthard Toro Rosso - Team Sea-bass Super Aguri - Taku and Ant Prodrive - PDLR, Gary Paffett Orange India - Adrian Sutil, Narain Karthikeyan.

No way Alonso is at McLaren next season. I'm surprised he's attempting to stick it out in '07 as it is. He obviously wants to be gone, McLaren seems like they would rather have Hammy, and with the Telefonica money and Renault's desperate need of a top-caliber driver, I've got to think Alonso will just go back there.

I agree its probably more likely, but I don't think its a foregone conclusion just yet.
Plus, I couldn't figure out a team where Hekki would go (maybe Williams instead of Nakajima), and I think he'll stay in F1 next year even if he leaves Renault.

Another Rumor is that Alonso will suit up for BMW in 09 which is why Mario Thissen is not speculating on how long Nick Heidfeld's actual race contract is past 08 ahh silly season how I've missed you ![]()

I don't think that statement is official yet, and Norbert Haug keeps saying the contract is still valid and that Alonso will be driving for McLaren in 08.

I don't know if its confirmed as fact yet, but there is a lot of buzz about the Skyker F1 team being sold,to Michael Mol (who is currently team principal and until a few weeks ago an exec at Spyker cars) and Indian billionaire Vijay Mallya. In other articles I've read, Mallya is the owner of many different companies in India including Kingfisher which currently sponsors Toyota.
http://www.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlin...02111545.shtml Anyways, looks like Narain might be on his way back to F1.

I saw that. The silly season would be complete if the 1st person ever to win the championship in his rookie season was stripped of the title due to his team cheating.

From what I heard Varsha talking about this morning it sounds like De La Rosa and Alonso are bringing the new evidence in the Stepney Gate.
Apparently De La Rosa sent an email to Alonso detailing some secret ferrari setup info he got from Mike Coughlin http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/62097

Also in F1 news, Q3 is finally getting rid of the goofy fuel credit nonsense: Quote:
Which asks the question, why not put the cars into Parc Ferme at the start of Q1? Meaning the cars have a fixed fuel load from the start of qualifying. Spyker could run light fuel and get themselves into Q2 only to run out of gas on the starting grid! ![]()

More on the DLR/Alonso emails:
http://www.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlin...07204845.shtml If this goes down like it sounds like it will, it's going to SUCK for McLaren. They'll be DQ'd for all this season, and likely all next season. Their two new drivers likely have clauses in their contracts allowing them to leave the team if the team is found guilty of rules infractions, so say hello to two of the best drivers in F1 on the free market for next year. Lewis is going to lose his record breaking rookie championship season that he likely deserves, even if McLaren got tire/setup info from Ferrari. And just to be devil's advocate, McLaren's use of setup info (if it really is just tire related data) would just be leveling the playing field since Ferrari really had an unfair advantage over everyone else 'cause they were the only competitive Bridgestone team before Michelin left the sport.

I was just reading that article. This sounds pretty bad now for McClaren. I'm also wondering if this takes PDLR out of the running for the Prodrive seat next year.

Likely the FIA will give them a talking to, but I doubt they'll be excluded from next season.

Ok maybe not just yet......here is what i got from f1-planet
According to reports on the BBC, the FIA's World Motor Sport Council has proposed that McLaren are excluded from the 2007 and 2008 World Championships. However, the corporation claims that the exact nature of the punishment which will be meted out is still being discussed. As such, Lewis Hamilton's World Championship bid may yet be rekindled, with McLaren expelled from the Constructors' Championship but both Alonso and Hamilton permitted to compete for the Drivers' title. The FIA has confirmed that a definitive verdict is now imminent. ALL THE DAMN F1 SITES ARE DOWN!!

Just read the news. Damn.
I'm curious to see what the final verdict is going to be.
