If only....when asked about this Jean Todts reaction was pretty clear... "No, No, No, No..." then he proceded to talk about the two world class drivers they have under contract already :lol:

But then again the sources that feed our South African presenters may not be too reliable......let us remember these presenters claim to be F1 test drivers after they went for a couple laps in that Minardi two seater :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not limited to South Africa as far as I can tell.

Rosberg is said to be first in line for the Mclaren seat....and Fisico to Williams?

Williams have confirmed test driver Kazuki Nakajima will step up to the race seat, in place of Alex Wurz, for the final race of the year at Interlagos, Brazil, in just under two weeks time.


Fisico - Nakajima - Williams, 2008??

That would probably mean the end of Williams F1 team as we know it unless Sir F is content to fight for the 6th place in the WCC. Honestly I don't see Fisi or Nakajima win/score a podium driving a Williams.

As M little said, Massa has been a great wingman to Kimi.
Ferrari agree, and have signed Massa to the end of 2010.

McLaren could do worse than poach Sebby Vetel, to fill Alonso's seat.
