I heard that Sato, Bourdais, Barrichelo, Button, Di Resta, Senna, Pantano and Anthony Davidson could still all get the drive

[...] Bourdais, Sato and according to some also Barichello still remain in the picture. I do believe that if it comes down to commerce Sato would be the choice if for nothing else than for his popularity back in Japan, the one major energy drinks market where [...]

[...] hardly select Piquet for any reason other than money. And when it comes to money and marketability he would have to beat Sato there … I does look like Piquet may have to return to some testing role next year [...]

Bourdais definitelly isn’t out, but he faces some tough challenge in the remaining races. Berger made it clear over the weekend that Bourdais 2009 seat is not confirmed and the 6 months long honeymoon period is over …

I do not think Nick can be a serious contender, only a serious rumour . He has exactly the same problems in BMW Sauber that Bourdais faces in Toro Rosso …

Sato provided something to F1 that has been missing with his absence, the unknown factor, the rest of the field doesn’t seem to be able to generate the kind of exciting jolt Sato would give when he made a daring maneuver, or pulled a dog of a car like the Super Aguri up into the points or higher than it in reality should be. Sato is never afraid to have a go, and that is what makes racing what it is, whose the most fearless, who wants it more. He gets in the car believing he has a chance to win never mind the car is dog slow, he’s gonna get everything out of it and then some.

It’s not that Sato tried too hard, it’s just that everyone else isn’t trying hard enough.

I hope he’s back on the grid somewhere next year, because F1 is boring without him.
