Nico Hulkenberg is a Williams driver for the 2009 season, where else will be Rosberg? McLaren for sure…
Lot’s of driver talk in last few days, some interesting, some quite silly (like Alonso back to McLaren
). Will prepare another post on 2010 drivers early next week.
Well, I mean 2010 season
Typing mistake! I’m rather happy to see Hulkenberg in Williams, he’s a race devil!!
Let’s see if the Fisichella/Petrov talks are also true, it’s very likely to happen. And it seems that something is going to happen in Monza, it’s now known by all the media that Ferrari rented the big conference room from the circuit, and everybody is already expecting the ‘Agreement’. If Alonso moves, be sure that the entire grid will move in consequence.
what a day! i (hearts) f1 qualifying. can we have one like that every week?
great track, great entertainment
this race looks to be a freakin good one for upsets
