Yup im starting this one.

So who has goss on who is moving where, rule changes etc?

[N1GTR]

Webber probably wont be as good, but that wont stop me supporting him anyway

[zebra]

Random fact, a wholesale client at work owns Marks old Go-cart, and he used to race against him

[Marlin]

Who's gonna fill this seat?

A mate of mine reckon Senna's a starter, I say not until hell freezes over.

Don't understand why you would hold onto Barichello

He's a great guy to have there if you need to train up a young gun.

He also tows the company line, doesn't mind playing second fiddle, and is still quick and importantly, likeable.

Give the old man a break will ya Timmy

I agree with your mate, would love to see him in a good or even reasonable car

Have you seen the onboard video from those cars, those HRT's are bloody wild!

I'd welcome him there, for sentimental reasons more than being an actual fan.

I just don't think he's a "Superstar", and I don't think he's the guy to make Williams a front runner.

Oh how I'd welcome being proved wrong though!

Would be awesome to have a Senna running in the top 8 or 10 again, that is for sure... now where is Alain Prost's kid?

I thought the rumour was that Senna was off to Lotus. To go with the Renault motors & the new black & gold livery they are supposed to be running.

So Senna in a black & gold Lotus Renault. Hmmm.

Hulkenberg had a decent second half of the season. But Williams need cash as most of their sponsors are ending their contracts this year. They were after the Mexican bloke with all the Telecom money.

Oh and the HRT was probably the worst of the new teams this year. Not that anyone really cared.

Senna is only there because his name. I dont think he has the ability to shine in evern a good car. Plenty of other drivers more worthy, especially Hullk who has sown flashes of pace, when in position raced hard and cleanly...and come along nicely alongside a team mate who is still very quick and no doubt handy at developing a car. Really is a sad time for Williams when they bring in a good young steerer and cant even sell him or trade him....they are a middle field team and there is no technical recruitment, engine deals or sponsors coming on board to suggest that is going to change anytime soon

I am interested to see if Petrov retains his seat....he did well in the last race but not sure that will be enough

Maybe. But it is hard to shine in such a bucket of *^%#. Not least if you can't do any testing.

I am not 100% convinced of teh Hulk. His drive at Imola was pretty ordinary, for example. There again look how Rosberg went this year. Much better than his form had suggested. Although his team mate made him look like a genious, so who knows.

Williams looks to be slowly going the same way as Jordan. Lack of results = lack of sponsors = lack of results. Here is hoping they sell enough KERS systems to Porsche to fund the team off their own back.

[ctjet]

gee'd about Porsche coming in

[Angus Smart]

So whos the top pick for next year now? with Kers, the new tyres, adjustable wings etc.

and no double diffusers f duct and bridgestones..

did i miss anything??

[Marco-R34GTT]

He's me praying for refuelling... Full tanks suck big balls!!

[89CAL]

Hope Kimi comes back, but I doubt it

None of the big teams look like searching for a new driver

So whats the Rule changes so far? KERS returns and adjustable rear wings, is that about all?

[ctjet]

can a mod please get rid of the reference to webber in the title

its fucking depressing to have to see his name associated with all that is good in this thread

[Marlin]

can a mod please get rid of the reference to webber in the title

I don't want to be looking at one man's name all year.

[zebra]

Lulz, I couldnt think of anything to put in there, so webber was it lol.

[Snowman]
